Expand LVM-Thin pve-data

[atca]

What's the best way to add nvem0n1 to LVM-Thin and expand pve-data?

Or failing that for nvme0n1 to become pve-data?

thats just expanding within an existing disk... I want to add a new disk in?

You need to read up on LVM - you add a physical disk, then deal with VG, then LV

Recommend you install webmin (runs on port 10000) so you can see more of what's going on with LVM in browser instead of just commandline

Although, I would not recommend mixing disk types in single LVM pool. Especially using consumer-grade non-protected disks. A disk failure will cause data loss of the entire pool.

You are better of creating a new LVM pool/storage.
