Disk space?

[wav3front]

Hi,

The disk space report here makes no sense. The total space of the server is 2TB nvme.

 

[mjtbrady]

It is not a disk space report. It is a report for the / file system.

 

[wav3front]

thank you.
How do I check the full disk usage?

 

[mjtbrady]

That depends on how you have configured your storage.

If this a default single device Proxmox install Disks -> LVM-Thin.

 

[wav3front]

its a raid 1

More like: Did you install it with the proxmox-iso installer, or installed it on top of Debian?
If the former, and you open up the node on the left, you should see local and local-lvm
Check the results for both and you have your answer, or click the datacenter-section and look at the summary there to see the combined usage (but keeping an eye on the 2 disks is probably better, since if either fills up, having free space in the other does not matter, this disk is still full).

Sidenote though, having just a 20 GB "primairy" drive is quite strange and small, especially on such a large drive

 

[wav3front]

Found it.
The disks however are not thin provisioned.


what am missing? why does it report 268GB? The total size of the disks is way over 1TB.

Dont know.
this particular installation was done from OVH templates.

 

[sw-omit]

It might be something in that template that is causing that / has that set as default.

Screenshot also the following things:
Datacenter -> Storage
Node -> Disk
Node -> Disk -> LVM
Node -> Disk -> LVM-Thin

Is that that 1TB the SET-size or the USED-size?
If it the set size/max size, then that's working as inteded, as it is a thin-provisioned disk so only the used size is also used on Proxmox

Here they are.

I have no disks set up on LVM-thin.

The storage that you showed the details for above is of type Directory. The VM disks on storage type Directory are qcow2 format which are thin provisioned.

that explains it.

Thank you.
