Hi,

I have installed Proxmox on a 160Go hard drive and Proxmox have take 80G0 to pve-root... Is it possible to personalize the partition system on Promxmox installation ?

Thx
 
The easy way is only during installation. At linux boot prompt you can write, for example:
linux maxroot=20 swapsize=4
to have a pve-root of only 20GB and swap of 4.
Rearranging the partition after installation is much more difficoult, if you search the forum maybe you can find a solution but that's beyond my skill :)
In any case don't create a too small pve-root, it's space is used often by proxmox as default path for temporary files of other things.
