    [TUTORIAL] Adding Full Disk Encryption to Proxmox

    If you want to encrypt your data, the best way is usually to start at the lowest layer possible to get as much data encrypted as possible.

    [SOLVED] local-lvm getting full.

    Hi, my local-lvm is almost full and I don't know what to do to fix this. I still don't fully understand what local-lvm is or how it works, compared to "local" (which is cleared with no issues). I tried fstrim on all my VMs and Containers. That only freed about 10 GB out of what's being used -...
