    [SOLVED] Proxmox only shows 100GB in summary instead of the full 500GB (Maybe 475GB. I had that on Windows)

    I recently set up Proxmox, but the summary does not show my full 500GB. I did verify that it was using full-size when I was installing it. I looked at the Disks tab, and it does show my full hard drive storage. My (Possibly wrong) guess is that the bottom device (/dev/nvme0n1p3) is not...

    Maximal disk allocation

    I am using proxmox to manage my virtual machines. When I create a new VM, I have to allocate some space on the SSD. For instance, I have a 240GB ssd and there is 1 VM using 120GB. Is there a way proxmox can automatically alert me if i try to setup a new 240GB VM on the same disk ?
