lvm-thin

With these little 2 scripts you can monitor your LVM-thin space to be aware of snapshots killing your overprovisioned storage. Save each script as .sh-File, chmod +x the file and it's directly ready to use after finding the attribute output in LVS command. Change the mail-adress, it runs fine...

Hello, I have some problems with my PVE host and mostly with the RAM management. I attach the screen of my host resources: On this host, I installed one(and only one) VM, that it configured as shown in the following image: The Ballooning is corretly enabled, but I don’t understand why the...

I have two RAID-10 spans configured on my server (4 x 1TB HDDs per RAID 10) One stores the local and local-lvm (2TB storage) The second span I turned into its own LVM-thin storage, i called it data2 (2TB storage) On data2 I've created only one container. I wanted my data2 lvm-thin to only...

Noob to proxmox... but my understanding lvm-thin data should be auto mounted to /var/lib/vz All I'm getting is 100Gb and constantly running out of space when my backups run. I don't know what I should be searching for to fix this, but I need the rest of my drivespace available.

Hallo, wir sind auf eine neue Version von Proxmox umgestiegen. Seit dem ist es so, dass wenn wir ein Backup von unserm externen Backup-Server wiederherstellen, die anderen VMs nicht mehr reagieren oder abschmieren. Da ist ein ziemliches Problem weil darunter auch ein DHCP und Mail-Server sind...

What is the purpose of the local-lvm on a new installation of Proxmox VE? Can the space be reclaimed and repurposed into a directory so that it will also be able to store snapshots, backups, and others...

I have a three node cluster with ZFS running on each node and aside from disk space and utilization everything runs great, migrations work, backup to NFS, snapshots, the one thing that has me in a jam is disk space, so I decided to migrate all VMS from one node consolidating to two and using the...

Dear All Today I had some time to study and test LVM on my home server. I did some changes, but now I cannot revert the server to original setup. These are the tasks I did: - I physically added a 250 Gb Sata SSD on /dev/sda device. It was from my RP4 old server, and, to blank it all, I dd'ed it...

I used lvm-thin volume in promxox, but it show quota not correct. I have lvm-thin: 1.80TB, I created 80 vm disk 30GB/VM, usage disk 12GB/VM, as I understand lvm-thin is calculated according to the amount used as such. total = 80x12 = 960GB but my lvm-thin show full disk 1.8TB and vm status...

Hi all, I want to create a backup of our a VM on a existing Thinpool. As it is only a temporary backup before an upgrade of the VM (and we have an external backup job as well) it is okay when the backup is on the same machine as the VM itself (as I don't know where Proxmox is storing snapshots...

Hello guys, I use server from Oneprovider and i have problem with their Proxmox Installation. As you can see in attachment images : about 910GB HDD allocated to /dev/mapper/system--vuyls-root. In Proxmox Web GUI i can create CT and VMs normally but the feature snapshot isn't available. Can you...

Hey guys! I'm still getting used to Proxmox, but so far it's been amazing! Since I'm still getting hands-on learning about the product, naturally I've been playing around with storage configurations. I've created some lvm/lvm-thin volume groups, but they were temporary, and I now wish to...

Hello everyone, I need to know if I can change a HD from lvm to lvm-thin, I have a vm on this hd that is on lvm and its backups are coming from the size of the hd and not from the use of the vm.

Hello! I experience a weird issue on Proxmox 6.1. I've added a storage as LVM-thin. The container storage was created on this storage. After the machine is rebooted, the storage showed as 0% usage and the container would not launch. After debugging this issue for quite some time I've noticed...

Hi everyone, After a botched removal of a node from a cluster, I'm left with no configs but several lxc disk images in an lvm-thin volume. Is there any way for me to recover it or make a mock lxc config to get those up and running? I do not remember the drive size as the last time I was on the...

Hi, I am totally new to Proxmox, and I'm not sure how to wipe a drive that used to be formatted as an LVM-thin drive. I was testing different options and created an LVM-thin vg on my drive through the GUI, then I tried to erase it to create a directory instead. I tried erasing it through fdisk...

Hello, I have an small virtual environment running Proxmox VE 5.3. My environment is made of 2 servers. I have created the cluster already. I would like not to add a shared storage technology for now, I’m running just fine with local LVM-thin. With this being said, my question is : How can...

Hi Guys, i'm totally new to lvm-thin. My physical storage is an RAID 1 array consosts of 2x 250GB SSDs. This contains a volume group with 206GB. I created an thin-pool with 100GB in this volume group wich contains some images of some VMs. Now i want to increase the size of the thin-pool. 'vgs'...
