Hello!

I have a question. I installed Proxmox on my SSD Drive and i want to change the Image folder that is located on /var/lib/vz/template/iso to like /home/hdd/var/lib/template/iso.
Is this possible? Because my SSD only have like 128GB and its waste of GB if i just leave the .iso images on the SSD ISO Folder.

1) mkdir -p /home/hdd/var/lib/template/iso
2) cp -r /var/lib/vz/template/iso/* /home/hdd/var/lib/template/iso
3) rm -rf
/var/lib/vz/template/iso
4) ln -s /home/hdd/var/lib/template/iso /var/lib/vz/template/iso

 
Oh yeah... I forgot about that. I found an old backup with 2 .iso images on my HDD and i just linked it to the SSD with ln -s how as you said. And it worked! thanks!

Hi,
or you defined the second hdd as storage - than you can use the space also for other things, like backup/images/openvz-templates.

Like "mkdir /home/hdd/proxmox"; define /home/hdd/proxmox as storage in Datacenter and select the kind of using. PVE will create the subdirs like "dump" or "template/iso".
