First of all: I like Proxmox.
But I am stuck at the moment. My Experience with Linux is... bit basic. The search was also not giving much of an explanation...
My Config and what I want to do:
I am using a Computer with SSD 250GB (sdb) setup with Proxmox as Host. Hosts Name is prox
I recently added a second SATA HDD 1.8T (sda) for Containers and to provide Storage to Containers.
https://192.168.0.199:8006/pve-docs/chapter-sysadmin.html#_hardware_2
these Information I was following to create a volume etc...
until here: (switched sdb with sda)
"Create a volume group named “vmdata” on /dev/sda1
# vgcreate vmdata /dev/sda1"
then:
"A real world example:
# lvcreate -n vz -V 1.8T pve/data" (worked fine)
Stuck I am here:
Now a filesystem must be created on the LV.
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/pve/vz
At last this has to be mounted.
be sure that /var/lib/vz is empty. On a default installation it’s not. <<<
My question: Can I just move from /var/lib/vz to a different Directory?
Like:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/pve/vz1 <<< this?
Do I need to change the previous as well? >> # lvcreate -n vz -V 1.8T pve/data" (worked fine)
How e.g. what do I need to change in order to do so?
I believe I need a LVM-Thin to use the HDD as additional Storage?
On the GUI I see now: Disks > LVM > pve (dev/sdb3 223.07GB)
and: Disks > LVM > vmdata (/dev/sda1 0% 1.82TiB)
