Extending LVM's of Containers

[nivek1612]

Ok so I'm new to proxmox and whilst setting up a couple of containers I appear to have not allocated as much disk space as I should now my container volumes are almost full outputs below. But I'm using less that half the actual physical disk

Whats the recommended way of increasing the space available to the two containers? I've read several posts and help files but I'm still not sure I'm clear on what to do

Hi,

Whats the recommended way of increasing the space available to the two containers?

I guess you'd like to simply increase the size of the root filesystem?

Most easily that can be done via the web interface; by selecting the container you want to increase the disk of, then click Resources -> Root Disk and finally the button above Volume Action -> Resize.

Hope this helps!

That sort of helped

and gets me here

root@pve2:~# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
data pve twi-aotz-- 17.43g 92.40 2.09
root pve -wi-ao---- <24.94g
swap pve -wi-ao---- <7.38g
vm-100-disk-0 pve Vwi-aotz-- 12.00g data 79.64
vm-101-disk-0 pve Vwi-aotz-- 11.00g data 59.56

but how do I increase "data" so I'm not at 92%+

I think I figured it out

used lvextend -L +5G pve/data

and now I have
root@pve2:~# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
data pve twi-aotz-- 22.43g 71.80 2.10
root pve -wi-ao---- <24.94g
swap pve -wi-ao---- <7.38g
vm-100-disk-0 pve Vwi-aotz-- 12.00g data 79.64
vm-101-disk-0 pve Vwi-aotz-- 11.00g data 59.56

Anything more I should do
