disk structure

[zapeador]

Hello, I have some machines that I don't assemble myself, but I find that several machines that use proxmox follow the following structure

─sda3 1,8T 0 part

├─machinetest--vg-Sistema 37,3G 0 lvm /

├─ machinetest --vg-data_tmeta 80M 0 lvm

│ └─ machinetest --vg-data-tpool 1,2T 0 lvm

│ ├─ machinetest --vg-data 1,2T 0 lvm

│ ├─ machinetest --vg-vm--104--disk--0 4M 0 lvm

│ ├─ machinetest --vg-vm--104--disk--1 50G 0 lvm

│ ├─ machinetest --vg-vm--109--disk--0 350G 0 lvm

│ ├─ machinetest --vg-vm--109--disk--1 4M 0 lvm

│ └─ machinetest --vg-vm--112--disk--0 350G 0 lvm

├─ machinetest --vg-data_tdata 1,2T 0 lvm

│ └─ machinetest --vg-data-tpool 1,2T 0 lvm

│ ├─ machinetest --vg-data 1,2T 0 lvm

│ ├─ machinetest --vg-vm--104--disk--0 4M 0 lvm

│ ├─ machinetest --vg-vm--104--disk--1 50G 0 lvm

│ ├─ machinetest --vg-vm--109--disk--0 350G 0 lvm

│ ├─ machinetest --vg-vm--109--disk--1 4M 0 lvm

│ └─ machinetest --vg-vm--112--disk--0 350G 0 lvm




As you can see I have 4 104--disk and this machine only has 1 disk connected and the fact that the structure is repeated twice has me still a little crazy

Please post in English - this also increases your chances of getting an answer

From automatically translating your post:

the "4 disks" you see are actually 2 disk-images:
* vm-104-disk-0 (from the size of it I assume this is the efivars disk, in the configuration - and that VM 104 is booted with UEFI)
* vm-104-disk-1 (50G)
* both are listed twice in the lsblk output - because you have a lvm-thin storage (https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pvesm.html#storage_lvmthin) - a LVM thin pool consists of 2 LVs - the data LV and the metadata LV - and lsblk shows both and duplicates the information

For listing disk-images (and LVs in general) - use `lvs`

I hope this explains it!

Sorry, I already put it in English

From what I see if it has to do with lvm-thin storage, I am going to learn more about that concept because the truth is that it surprises me to see everything duplicated
