Hard Disk space used by Proxmox

[joeleo]

Hi, just did a new install of Proxmox 2.3 on a server with 500G. Noticed after the install proxmox shows total size to be 341GB, 195MB used, 341GB avail... Wondering why it didn't see most/all of the 500G. Appreciate feedback on this.

Thx,
Joe

Hi,
pve used lvm-storage for the installation (sda2) - look with following commands

pvs
vgs
lvs

You can use less space for root and swap if you use for the installation the boot-flags maxroot and swapsize e.g.

linux maxroot=20 swapsize=8

to get more free space for images (/var/lib/vz).

This is my df -h output:

root@lh:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/pve-root 95G 771M 89G 1% /
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 3.9G 208K 3.9G 1% /dev
tmpfs 3.9G 19M 3.9G 1% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/pve-data 341G 195M 341G 1% /var/lib/vz
/dev/sda1 495M 35M 436M 8% /boot
/dev/fuse 30M 12K 30M 1% /etc/pve
root@lh:~#

Also, anywhere I can find about the available boot options?

This is my df -h output:
...

df -h show the space in GiB (or MiB) mean one GiB is 1024 MiB
df -H show the space in GB (or MB), which is also used by hdd-vendors because the disks are bigger (mean one GB is 1000 MB).

Also, anywhere I can find about the available boot options?

My example are boot options for the installation - see also here: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Debugging_Installation
