thin lvm

In first place i made the mistake creating the first LXC with all the free space allowed in local-lvm (150 G). After a lot of work iside this LXC, i want to create more LXC's and VM's, but i need more space, and the LXC never needed to be that big, so i want to keep it but smaller. The first...

Finally got all the parts for my home server and currently testing. I plan to have SR-IOV passthrough for VM networking, HBA passthrough for storage VM. This means i can't take live snapshots and because it's just one node i don't need replication. Without using 2 major benefits of ZFS, should...

Hi, whe have the current scenariio, pve 7.4.x in a cluster. vm1 on proxhost 2: lvs shows 28% in use from the 127GB disk on local thin storage. fstrim -av works. migrate lvm1 to proxhost 01: lvs shows 100% in use, this is a known issue, but running sudo fstrim -av in the vm normally results...

I am running Proxmox VE 6.3-2 I wanted to efficiently use space on my SSD drive and I read rather than VM's taking up static space I could do that with a thin pool. I created a thin pool and then a lv in it (I think).. I can mount it manually but cant seem to mount it from fstab. All I know...

Hi, I have six Proxmox hypervisors (various licenses) running 5.4 which I began upgrading this week (to 6.2-4). I'm on the second machine today and running into the same problem that I had on my first upgrade. There is an LVM volume defined from the 5.4 Proxmox install which is tagged with...

Hi. I have created a VM which uses thin LVM. Now I want to start a fresh VM with the same id and back up old data. For that, I have renamed my disk (i.e vm-101-disk-0) to vm-101-disk-0-old and. Now I want to create a new volume. The thing is I have a template which I create my Vms from, and I...

New to Linux so forgive my ignorance about anything. Hoping to switch off of HyperV. I setup a single 120GB SSD non-UEFI computer with the storage defaults (Not ZFS). I customized a great many things and then used a HDD duplicator to clone to a 250GB destination disk. To my surprise the cloned...

Hi ! Proxmox is great and i'm pretty new with this mix of technologies. LVM is extremely powerful and i need to deal with it to increase , wisely , a thin pool without breaking anything. Here is the situation. I plan to enlarge a partition by 2TB. I need to increase the thin pool used by...

I'm fairly new to proxmox and linux partitions/volumes in general, so there probably is a very simple solution to this that I am missing. My server has 1x 250GB SSD and 1x 1T HDD. I installed proxmox on the SDD and I'm guessing during installation it created following: LV...

Hi I'm new to proxmox and I'm trying to create a pfSense vm on thin-provisioned storage. I get this error. Command failed with status code 5. command '/sbin/vgscan --ignorelockingfailure --mknodes' failed: exit code 5 TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 100 - no such volume group 'pfSense_tp' What...

I wanted to add a disk, and primarily use it as a Thinpool, and I also wanted some directory storage for images and templates on the same disk. The guide here shows how to do it: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-sysadmin.html#chapter_lvm However its not as simple as copy and paste. You...

Hello, I work with Proxmox 5.2 and LVM Thin-Volumes. I create a couple of snapshots from a windows test-vm and wondering how it worked. A normal thin snapshot under LVM2 used the same size as the original thin-volume has. In my case the thin-lv has 32GiB, so the snapshot would become also...

Hello to the community, I was following this thread to find the solution to the problem, but I got different behaviour. My guest VM is using 13GB on /dev/sda1, here's the configuration bootdisk: scsi0 cores: 1 ide2: none,media=cdrom lock: backup memory: 4096 name: pippo001 net0...

Hi, I have two 500GB SSD RAID1. First RAID1 partion is ext4 for system (20GB size) and second partion is LVM-Thin for VMs (size 446GB). Everything works great, except one thing - if I create backup of VM, proxmox want to save it at "/var/lib/vz" which is on 20GB ext4 partion. Is possible to save...

Offline migration fails for me when I try to move from a newer proxmox 4 install that has been upgraded to 5.1, to a older proxmox 5.1 install that started with proxmox 3. The storage involved is not marked shared, but the older server has local storage configured as true plain local storage...

i have upgraded an 4.x to last 4.4 release my datastore virtual machine (kvm) is in classic LVM fs. in a test fresh install of 4.4 i show the new layout of lvm+lvm-thin fs. i have non problem with my configuration in kvm machine, but i need to create some lxc vm container and i not understand...

hello, i have a esxi free (6.5) and i decided to migrate my VMs to proxmox VE, to have a real backup solution. My proxmox use LVM-Thin. I followed this tutorials in the wiki and from the site sysorchestra (i can't indicate the url for anti-spam measurements for this forum) My VMS (linux and...

Is there a way to convert a raw virtual disk into a Logiacl Volume in a ThinLVM storage without passing throght a backup and restore into a different storage? Thank you ex: from storge: local /var/lib/vz/images/991/vm-991-disk-1.raw to storage local-lvm: LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin...
