First I want to say that I am impressed by this project. You really do a great job! :D

I want to dual boot PVE with another OS for testing purposes. Unfortunately the installer won't let me choose to partition.
Is there an easy workaround?
 
Easiest way would be to add a 2nd disk later. Proxmox will grab as much diskspace as possible.
 
Thanks for the quick reply.
I think even though I have two disks in it, it still only uses one by default. Still what I meant was using one disk to install a second OS on.

Maybe I can resize it with an Ubuntu live CD, then I have to digg into grub and stuff to get it working I guess. (I want to dual boot with Ubuntu x64 by the way)

Click to expand...

the install uses the first disk in full so I assume you can install Ubuntu on the second one, should work (but not tested here).
 
Should definitely work. Don't know if resizing disk 1 will work tho', you're dealing with LVM and ext3 filesystems. Safe way is to just install ubuntu on disk2.

BTW.. proxmox won't use 2 seperate disks. Only if you stick 'em on a hardware raid controller.
 
Still no banana. ;)
I want to install onto one single disk.
Maybe I have to concider a manual install then.
 
actually i also get same problem.

i have 2 disk, the first is my boot partition and the second is proxmox boot and proxmox kernel. after installing proxmox, it directly boot into my second disk.

hmmm...
can i delete the boot partition on second disk, and call proxmox kernel from my first disk boot grub?

i also suggest the same but i didn't try yet

same for me

i also face the same problem,

i have 2 hard disk and i install proxmox on my second disk.

but i need to modified my grub to point to my kernel in first disk but how can i know the name of the kernel in my first disk?
