Using just 1 disk

[glennbtn]

Hi All

Prommox has changed since last time I had a play with it and could do with a little help please.

I have a test server with 1X 512gb SSD which I would like to have the vm's on this disk as well as it just a test machine.

I can see local has used 99gb of the drive and local-lvm has the remainder of the space. If I do a df- h I don't see this anything referring to the space of the local-lvm. How do I get access to this space to be able to use ti for th vm's, backup, iso's etc.

many thanks

when you install proxmox, 1 logical volume lvm is done and formated/mounted on / . (the "local" storage). On this storage, you can put files (iso, backup, ct templates) , as it's a filesystem.


When you create VM/CT disks, it's done on remaining space (the "local-lvm" storage), when 1 logical volume is create for each vm/ct disk. (so you can only create vm/ct block disk on this remaning space.

the following command shall show you space available

lvs | grep data
vgs | grep pve
