Hello, as the title says I copied over my boot drive (128GB) to another bigger (256GB) drive and even though it says it is 256GB (see attached picture), I cannot seem to figure out how to use the other 128GB that is missing. I did not initialize the new SSD (256GB) with GPT before I copied the boot drive (128GB) to it, could that be the issue? I am quite new to Proxmox so I would like some guidance on how to fix this issue.
Copied 128GB boot drive to a new 256GB drive but I can only use 128GB out of the 256GB it has

Hi @ebuschena ,
This is not a Proxmox-specific question. There are many guides available, ie https://wiki.cs.vt.edu/index.php/Howto::Resize_LVM
In summary:
Good luck

In summary:
- extend the partition
- extend the physical volume
- extend the volume group
- extend the logical pool
Good luck

Make sure you have backups of anything critical before you do any of the procedures!
I refer you to a recent post of mine - on the procedures required in your case.
