hello.

my / partition is full.

i have about 500 gb free space unallocated (unpartitioned)

may i create a partition and use it in proxmox for vpses?

if yes , please tell me how to do that

thanks
 
i know about GParted, but if i create another partition from that free space cannot i add it to proxmox storage and use it?

thanks for your reply
 
Why not just use lvextend on /dev/pve/root and then resize2fs? Even works online.
 
thanks for replies.

i've created partition and add it to proxmox , working. but how to select second storage when creating a new openvz vps? or how to transfer exciting vps's disk image to new partition.

also i've 2 proxmox servers, withouting setting servers as cluster and .. how can transfer vpses between servers?

if i copy a vps's disk image and create a new vps with that disk image will it work?

thanks

For openvz you need local storage (ext3) - the only supported way is to extend your volume group and extend the logical volume pve-data.
or how to transfer exciting vps's disk image to new partition.

the recommended way is backup/restore. Of course you can copy the disk-image (kvm-VM), but you need also the config - without config your VM has a new mac-address and perhaps the client-os don't work out of the box.
The config is below /etc/qemu-server - but backup and restore do the job well for you.

Everything has been told already, I'd just like to point out that if you install a second server and hook it up into a Proxmox cluster, you can use the migration feature on the webadmin to transfer VPSes between your old and new node without walking the backup/restore way.
