HD Space root (29.53GB/785MB)
Why is proxmox reservering 29.53 gigs when it only needs 785?

Hi,
pve use a fixed partition-layout. If you have an big disk, the root-partition are very big. For this reason, you can ommit the root-size during install: type on the boot-promt "linux maxroot=15" for a 15GB root. You can also give the "swapspace=xx" parameter.

you can specify root and swap, data just uses the rest.
 
Okay, I am doing remote installs.

What if I had two hard drives. I want this setup:

Root=4gig
swap=6gig
rest of space on disk 1 + all of disk 2 in a raid0

Hi,
if you use the installer, you can use your layout for the first disk and add later the second disk to the volumegroup pve (to expand data over both disks).
If you want to use software-raid (not supported) search in the forum. Normaly install for that lenny with your wanted layout and ontop pve.

Last thing:

I have venet setup.

How to access the vm? That IP is only virtual.

Do I need to assign dedicated?

Hi udo,

No support for remote installs?

No! software raids are not supportet from the proxmox team. But there are some people in this forum with pve and softwareraid.
Need to get kvm?

I don't understand this. kvm is included with pve (openvz only with openvz-enabled kernel).
volume group=lvm?

right - pve use lvm2 which based on pv (physical volumes), vg (volume groups) and lv (logical volumes).
/var/lib/vz is the logical volume data on the volumegroup pve. You can extend the volume group with another disk (or partition - a pv) to use the whole space of both disks (but no realy speed efforts like with raid 0). But if you need speed, go for a real (good) hardware raid-controler. OK, this is not so easy (cheap) with an hosted machine.
Use following on the console to get an overview:
Code: 
pvdisplay
vgdisplay
lvdisplay

No, how can I access the individual virtual environment? Like how do I ssh to it specifically? portforwarding won't work because it uses the same ip as the hardware node!

Thank you udo.
