2x 3TB hard disk, LVM , Proxmox

[ataomega]

hello


my server has 2x 3 tb hard disks, i have configured LVM before installing proxmox

now proxmox 2 is installed.

in storages list i see proxmox is using /var/lib/vz for images / containers ...

and i have added lvm vg0 but it use it only for images and ...

how to fix it?

i have configured vg0 with about 5.5TB , how proxmox can use it for containers?

i can easily reinstall debian and configure lvm and install proxmox again,

please help me , please tell steps to get this figured

best regards

first, softraid is not supported installations.

to your question:
Proxmox VE stores container on local storage. this is /var/lib/vz.

In your case, you only got a size of 10 GB here.

 

[tom]

as you already have 2.0 beta, you can just add another "dir" storage where you can store your container.

just use a dir wherever you like, but I recommend to use ext3 formated. just go to "datacenter/storage" and add it.

 

[ataomega]

thanks for your replies

"you can just add another "dir" storage where you can store your container."
so there is no need for lvm , yes?

 

[tom]

no, with dir I just mean a simple directory somewhere on your filesystem.

but you do not have free space in your volume group, therefore you can never use LVM snapshot backups. you should have at least 4 GB free, but I recommend 16 GB.

i has 2x 3 tb hard disks

i have reinstall debian like this

1000gb for /
and 2000 gb for /home

and will partition second hard disk and mount it to /home2

then i can add /home and /home2 to storages list, yes?

 

[tom]

did you get the info about the missing free space in the volume group? or didn´t you plan to use LVM snapshots?

 

[ataomega]

i have reinstalled debian, and didnt used LVM , also no software raid anymore

i has 2x 3 tb hard disks

i have reinstall debian like this

1000gb for /
and 2000 gb for /home

and will partition second hard disk and mount it to /home2

then i can add /home and /home2 to storages list, yes?

 

[tom]

yes. but again, you cannot make backup with LVM snapshots in this setup.

 

[ataomega]

thanks for replies, i will not use lvm anymore
