Hello person. Answer me a question. I have Proxmox installed on my server on a RAID 10 with 4 disks. I'm running out of space and want to increase storage. If I expand my RAID by adding 4 more disks to it, will Proxmox automatically notice this increase? It has a DELL server and would expand the RAID using the server's BIOS. Will Proxmox see this increase in RAID capacity when the process is complete? Or will I have to do any additional procedures on Proxmox?

Unfortunately, I can't provide it to you right now, as I'm far from the server, but I'll send it here as soon as possible.please provide the output of lsblk and /etc/pve/storage.cfg
I understood. Thanks. I'm thinking about creating a new RAID 10 through the server's BIOS. And adding this storage to Proxmox, will that work? I use BTRFS as a file system. Would I just have to create the file system with mkfs.btrs and mount it with mount, and then add the storage to Proxmox?You first have to add the new disks to your RAID controller and enlarge the virtual disk. Then you have to enlarge the partition in the OS and then adjust the LVM if necessary. In short, it won't increase in Proxmox on its own.
Thats quite alright. for clarity, I was asking so I can help you with the how, but what @sb-jw said is essentially true regardless.Unfortunately, I can't provide it to you right now, as I'm far from the server, but I'll send it here as soon as possible.
Thank you very much. If I create a new raid 10 and add it as storage on Proxmox, can it work?Thats quite alright. for clarity, I was asking so I can help you with the how, but what @sb-jw said is essentially true regardless.
yes.Thank you very much. If I create a new raid 10 and add it as storage on Proxmox, can it work?
