Hello

I currently have a 4TO bay but because of the shutdown of a unused service I now have :

VM-100-disk-0 1 TB // Empty 1TB // VM-101-disk-0 1TB // ...

I would like to extend the CT Volume of the disk 101 from 1TO to 2TB by extending it backward. Most of the time this is not possible but I would like to know if there is a PVE tool that would let me do it (even if it has to "move" the data and it takes a long time).
The VM 101 has almost the full TB used if that makes any difference here.

If there is no "magic" tool, how can I do that manually ?

Thanks for the help

Hello rXp,

Could you please clarify if this is a Container in your storage, or within a VM? Is it an [lxc]?

At your convenience, could you please also run the command [pvesm status] and share its output?
