Yes. You can change that simply to edit your VM configuration.
Code:
nano /etc/pve/qemu-server/129.confAnd change a line like this (for example) to GB -> size=35G
Code:
scsi0: local-lvm:vm-123-disk-1,discard=on,iothread=1,size=35G,ssd=1Even if there's a decimal value?
From summary it shows 931.51GB
and is the disk 0 from the screen: 976762584K
As for now i don't remember the exact size of the original disk, but can i change in the config and setting like 932GB? Will it still work?
i just tried to create another vm with a decimal disk and it show as KB and not GB, maybe the problem is the decimal value?
Yes exactly, I always make it a bit bigger.
Yes exactly, that's the reason. Just use full GB sizes. e.g. 44GB, 51GB, 2TB, etc.
Hi,
please note that editing the configuration file does not actually change the size of the disk. The value in the configuration is only informational and Proxmox VE will query the actual disk size if required. E.g.
Proxmox VE will display the value as e.g. 932G if it is actually aligned to that size, you can use
please note that editing the configuration file does not actually change the size of the disk. The value in the configuration is only informational and Proxmox VE will query the actual disk size if required. E.g.
qm rescan --vmid <ID> will update the sizes in the configuration to their actual values again. Simply editing the configuration is just lying to yourself Proxmox VE will display the value as e.g. 932G if it is actually aligned to that size, you can use
qm disk resize for that.
