LXC Root Disk Usage - Why Does The GUI Not Represent This? Am I Missing It?

[CashewCaliphate]

In a container summary view, the Proxmox GUI displays a lot of useful resource reporting, like CPU, RAM, and Swap consumption. It also shows the allocated total space for the root disk of the container, but I don't see a data point for the amount of root disk that is consumed/used. Why is that?

Ideally, I wouldn't have to SSH into each container in order to get this read-out:

root@PlexMediaServer:~# df -h
Filesystem                       Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
r1nvmestorage/subvol-100-disk-1   12G  4.6G  7.5G  38% /

It's entirely possible (and probably) that there's an easy way to check this in the GUI that I'm just overlooking. But how does everyone else monitor root disk consumption on LXCs?

I'm using ZFS RAID1, if it matters.

it is there in the 'search' tab of the node/datacenter under disk usage
but you are right, we can show this in the summary panel of a container.

can you open a feature request on https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/ ?

Hrmm, looks like someone already beat me to it: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1373

Good to know about the datacenter view though, thanks.

that bugreport actuallly is not correct because it speaks of showing the disk usage of qemu vms in the resource grid (which we do not show)

I didn't find one that had been created, so I created a feature request for this.
