[SIZE=-1]Hy all of you,
I'm brand new in using proxmox VE2.1 and I really appreciate this tool.
I'm surfing the web to learn and find appropriate resources.
I also try to organise correctly my environment.
One of the first question is how organise my diskspace?
[SIZE=-1]
It gives us 448GB used. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]Is it normal that 96 Gb are used for root? Is it possible/dangerous to change this?[/SIZE]If yes, how can I work?
Then, when I read the documentation, it is explained that LVM storage is the best to use, but when I create one, I have almost no space free (see below).
[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]
Is it normal?
Some posts on the are explaining that PVE already create one and it is useless to create one more if the hardware doesn't change. Is it correct?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][SIZE=-1]Does a new LVM storage will adapt its size dynamically so that creating a new one is relevant?[/SIZE]
What I would like to understand now is if it is correct to work with directory storage only ? Will snapshot still available if no LVM is used or does all the directory created are already "inside" the default LVM ?
Should I create folders under the /var/lib/vz which is the LVM default?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Florent THOMAS[/SIZE]
