Hello,
I have installed Proxmox 6.2-4 and I am quite confused with volumes.
I didn't install this by myself, I came to already installed system so I don't know if the installation went without problems.
Proxmox is installed on 1 TB drive and on the left side is only local storage visible - it has only nearly 100 GB.
Then there is almost 1 TB data visible in LVM-Thin.
I've tried to search for something but everything I found looked different than this.
What should I do to have more storage for VMs? Can I use data storage or should I resize the root storage? Can I safely shrink the data storage?
Also when I want to make a backup, I cannot select any target storage - that selection is empty. So I assume something is not right here?
Thank you in advance!
