Fresh Proxmox 6.3 consumes 32GB disk

[SaAtomic]

Hello everyone,

I've just set up a new Proxmox VE 6.3 and provided a 37GB disk for the OS, but now noticed that 88% (32,9 GB) of the disk is already used after the first update, according to Disks > LVM in the web application.

I expected the system to require much less space. Should I reinstall the OS with larger partition or is the space just allocated, but not actually used?

On the shell, with `df -h`, only 25% of the created root partition is in use (2.1GB).

Thank you for your time

the default storage layout is to allocate nearly the whole disk with LVM, create some logical volumes and add a filesystem on one lv and a 'thinpool' on another
while 'lvm' shows nearly full, you already noticed that the root filesystem uses only 25% and if you check 'lvm-thin' you'll see that there is nothing used there yet
