Please, help me understand my disk usage

[karnalta]

Hello all,

I have a small ITX host with only one SSD in it, for proxmox installation and the VM storage.

But I don't understand how my local-lvm is almost full while it should have plenty space left.

Here is the physical disk :



If I understand correctly, Proxmox create a "root" LV of 100Gb, here it is :



Then, it use the rest of the disk for a "data" LV to store VM disks and containers, but it is almost full :



"lvdisplay" show me that there is only two vm disks of 64Gb each on it :

So where is all the space ? I am a bit of a linux noob and I don't understand why I cannot create another disk on the local-lvm storage.

Thank for your help.

The screenshot for lvm-local is showing as Type LVM. For a default Proxmox single disk install It should be LVM-Thin (or at least that is what mine are). The lvdisplay output looks correct for LVM-Thin.
