Default partition schema from PVE 1.9 ISO

[dendi]

Hi all!
I just installed my first Proxmox VE server
I used two 500 GB HD on hw raid and I noticed that the root partition is 100 GB, so only 350 GB for data. Does the system really need 100 GB on the root or I missed something?

pve01:~# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/pve-root 99083868 733072 93317632 1% /
tmpfs 4086284 0 4086284 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10240 676 9564 7% /dev
tmpfs 4086284 0 4086284 0% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/pve-data 369655824 10658896 358996928 3% /var/lib/vz
/dev/sda1 516040 35016 454812 8% /boot

Thank you!
Denis

depends on your needs. take a look on http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Debugging_Installation,
you can limit the size of the root partition.

but some use the space in the root partition to make snapshots of running vm´s.
