Proxmox creates 3 mount point disks, but uses only one

Hi there,

I added a new disk to my system and initialized it by creating a new volume group /dev/sdb
Then I added a new mount point to a LXC container with 64GB of storage to the path /mnt/storage
For some reason proxmox created three volumes within a couple of seconds:

As you can see here, proxmox only uses the vm-103-disk-2:

Why did this happen?

I can not delete the other unused disks, since the id 103 is still in use:

Now the disks take up 3 times the space, since there are three of them.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!
 
I have exactly the same question; my 300GiB mount point was created 3 times as well, which together now exceed my disk size. :confused:
 
I asked the same question on Reddit and got this as a reply:

Re-mount disk 1 & 2 by adding the mount points into /etc/pve/lxc/107.conf.

Code:
mp1: local-lvm:vm-107-disk-1,mp=/mnt/temp1
mp2: local-lvm:vm-107-disk-2,mp=/mnt/temp2
You can then go into the container resources (guest's hardware pane) and detach & remove them from there.
