Good day. I have a "LOCAL" section. It uses 100GB, but I'm not going to use it in any way. Tell me how can I transfer part from "local" of the space (90GB) to "local-lvm" or transfer virtual machines to "local"

local-lvm is thin provisioned and local is a directory, you can't move disks between those two systems.

Don't know if, and if yes, how it's possible to shrink local and use that space to increase local-lvm.

you need to enable discard option on the vm disk, enable qemu-agent in vm options, and enable "Run guest-trim after clone disk".

(alternativly, you can use "fstrim" command inside your linux guest (but this need aldo discard option enabled first)
 
I do not understand. Tell me how to cut off a piece of local and transfer it to local-vm

I think you don't quite grasp what @Fullmoon wants.
It's not about the disk of the VM - but changing sizes of the disks and directory of Proxmox itself.

oh ,sorry.
I'll be difficult to resize/shrink.

easiest way: backup vms to external drive, and reinstall full proxmox with a small partition for os.
 
Colleagues, how can I reduce local-lvm? tell me .. or how to reinstall proxmox to make it local-lvm 5 GB?
 
Was anyone able to figure this out? My server is remote and not easily accessible, so reinstalling is not an option (unless an upgrade can resize the OS disk?)

Thanks
