Create large (>1024GB) VM

[peterlin]

We've been using proxmox VE for a while, and it works very well. Now I would like to create a container (or kvm, it doesn't matter) with an allowed disk space of at least 2.5TB, but proxmox won't let me (there is plenty of disk space free). I'm going to create a 2.2TB large file on it to test hfs+.

Can I do this manually somehow?

I guess its a bad idea to creat such large files. Instead use a (lvm) device. You need to create that manually.

I see... I suppose I can make a separate LVM with some more disks, but I'm not sure how to make this larger device visible to the container/kvm?

KVM:

see 'man qm' for the syntax

and for each KVM guest: /etc/qemu-server/VMID.conf (this is the config file)

We are working on a more flexible storage model.
