Hi, my local-lvm is almost full and I don't know what to do to fix this. I still don't fully understand what local-lvm is or how it works, compared to "local" (which is cleared with no issues).

I tried fstrim on all my VMs and Containers. That only freed about 10 GB out of what's being used - 96.42% (462.39 GB of 479.56 GB)

Cleared log files as well. Cleared old backups, snapshots, and set my disks discard on.

Any other suggestions? Thanks.
 
Hello

Can you please share your /etc/pve/storage.cfg with me to verify? But if you do not have done anything special at your installation:

The local is basically your Linux root where Proxmox has its system stored. Also, data like backups and ISO files go here.

The local-lvm is where the hard drives of your VMs are stored.

Thought so, but once I added everything up, it doesn't even come close to what's being used.

Do you mean lvm: local-lvm-yautja?

Can I see how your storage is allocated with lsblk?

lol nevermind, I'm dumb. Shoulda checked this. Seems like there's some leftover disks from older VMs that didn't get deleted for some reason. Apologies
 
It happens to the best of us. If that solves your issue, don't forget to set the issue to 'Solved'.

If not, we can look further.
 
In the Web UI, there is a Server View in the left. Open the drop down of your node and look for the storage there.
Once you selected the storage, you should get an option to show VM disks on this storage.

The disks are not saved as files here, but rather as their own block devices. You can think of it a little like every disk is its own partition.

That's the thing. There's literally nothing in my VM Disks and yet it's still full.
