Advanced Install Help

Hi

I am installing prox on my 3.8TB nvme and want to use it for the OS, Swap and Backups only. I do not want to use LXC or VMs on this volume.
Please can you advise what values I need to set so that I have max space available for creating a backup dir where I can store temporary VM, LXC backups.
Thanks.

Try setting data volume size to 0, root volume size to what you want for the local storage and leave the rest default. Also see here: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#advanced_lvm_options

Thanks, I think i went wrong before by just using 0 for the data volume and leaving root volume blank assuming this would consume all the remaining space.

Another option is to remove the data LV post-install and expand the root LV/FS with the remaining space.
