There's always something in life that you want to do differently if you have a chance. For example If I were about to install Proxmox VE again I wouldn't only give it 32GB of disk size. So is it still possible to increase the size of the disk now? Thanks! Here are some informations about my installation.

Output of `df -h`
Code:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                  7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev
tmpfs                 1.6G  1.6M  1.6G   1% /run
/dev/mapper/pve-root   32G   20G   11G  67% /
tmpfs                 7.8G   46M  7.8G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                 5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
/dev/fuse             128M   28K  128M   1% /etc/pve

Hello :)

You can easily found on the web many tutorials for extend a LVM virtual disk. But you need to turn off your server and reboot on live-cd.

I prevent you: you need before to reduce your "local-lvm" because it's use all the left space on your VG. Found before how to reduce it, and then increase your pve-root :)
