Hi all,
I'm going to install a new proxmox s3.4 on OVH server, to avoid configuration errorcould anyone confirm the best HD partition?

Scenario:
Infrastructure Server 32GB RAM - 3 300GB SSD SoftRaid -
Intel Xeon E5
E5-1630v3
4/8t
3,7 / 3,8 GHz
32 GB RAM
DDR4 ECC 2133 MHz
NAS 1GB

The server will host 4 VZ CT (daily VZdump snapshot on NAS)
---------------------------------
The OVH wizard suggests:

#Type File systemMount pointLVM volume nameRaidParttion dimension Used space
1primaryExt3 /-120.0 GB60.0 GB
2primarySwapswap--3 x 1.0 GB 3.1 GB
3lvExt3/var/lib/vzdata1279.0 GB836.9 GB


In the past I had some backup problems related to snapshot and VZdump (not enough space to snapshot) and I had to change the partition dimension after installation.
This time I would avoid future problems.

Any tip about the best practices?
thanks

I solved,
In OVH wizard panel reduce the dimension of var/lib/vz enough to leave almost 20 GB free, OVH will allocate the free space for snapshot.
