Hi, I am a brand new user to Proxmox, and wonder if someone can help me understand my disk usage situation. I'll try to give as much info as I can.
My machine running Proxmox has a 64 GB internal drive, as well as an additional mounted 240 GB external storage drive. There is 8 GB RAM total on the system. I have a VM and a container running:
VM (id=100) --> disk size = 33 GiB , memory = 4 GiB
LXC (id=101) --> disk size = 8 GiB , memory = 512 MiB
Here is the output of lsblk on the PVE shell, and I've tried to identify some things:
I'm not sure why some of this is repeated (i.e. there is pve-data-tpool and pve-data_tdata). I'm not sure where the 17.4 GiB and 24.9 GiB numbers are coming from. Can anyone help shed any light on this?
Ultimately I am looking to monitor the overall disk usage from inside my own docker container (Telegraf) which is itself inside the LXC container, which is itself inside Proxmox. The problem is I'm not sure how to get access to this from inside my docker container. Here are the outputs of the df command when I run them at each of the three levels:
I believe that of the 33 GiB that I allocated to the VM (101) that I have used around 3.2 GiB , and a similar amount again in the 8 GiB LXC container, but I'm not sure how to access both of these from inside the docker container.
Can anyone help me wrap my head around this?
