Automayed debian install w/o LVM - how to configure after ?

Edit: Automayed = Automated

Hi,

I take a new server in The Planet/Softlayer datacenter. I choose Debian 5.0 amd64.
Unfortunately, they have a script thats install OS with hard partitions w/o the
option of LVM entire disk.

After install the Proxmox in this Debian, a create a new VG in a big partition (400 GB)
and add this partition in storage section of Proxmox web gui. The / and swap remain stored in hard
partitions.

But when I create a new VM(openvz), they use the local HD storage instead the new LVM storage.

How can I force the Proxmox to put new machines in this LVM, with the informed disk size ?

Thanks and congratulations for this awesome tool!

OpenVZ always uses the local ext3 filesystem mounted on /var/lib/vz - you cant change that.

Dietmar:
If I mount the /var/lib/vz in a LV (formated as ext3) of my VG, I will have any problem ?
Or the correct way is to mount this dir in a hard partirion ?

Thanks !

No, that should work.
