Queston...why do you want to combine them? "local" is for system + files, "local-lvm" is for virtual disks of VM/LXCs. While it is possible to store virtual disks on "local" as image files, you will get more disk wear and less performance because of the additional overhead. If there is not a good reason why you want delete "local-lvm", like you don't want to store VM/LXCs on that disk, because you got a dedicated disk for that, it would be better to stick with the defaults.
The problem is that I installed Home Assistant (OS for the smart house) via Proxmox VE Helper Scripts, but somehow it got installed on "local-lvm". Then I wanted to install transmission (Torrent tracker), but for some reason it was installed on "local", where there is only 72GB of free space, and it's not enough for me to download movies.
"Local-lvm" uses only 6% of the disk space, while "local" - 98%
If you have any ideas that you can share with me, I would really appreciate it
P.S: I Installed "Transmission" via ubuntu, so maybe that's why it located in "local"

As far as I understood, this is to completely delete all the data from virtual machines
I have one virtual machine installed in "local-lvm"
Is there any way to save data from it?

1) It makes no difference how you install the OS for any of your applications, the choice of underlying storage is always up to you during the setup phase of the Virtual Machine, i.e. before the OS install is started
2) You need to read more and experiment with various options, as @Dunuin described there are pros and cons to both local and local-lvm
3) If you decided to forgo the local-lvm storage - you have an option to MOVE the disk across storage types (under VM,hardware,disk)

I understand thank you.
Yesterday I experimented, and I realized that I need a 32Gb "local-lvm" storage (Now it's 150 Gb)
How can I reduce the "local-lvm" storage?
Thank you
I don't get why you don't just move your virtual disks of your Torrent Tracker VM/LXC from "local" to "local-lvm". Then you don't need all that space in "local".
"local-lvm" is a LVM-Thin pool and these can't be shrinked. If you want "local-lvm" smaller you would need to destroy that "data" LV, recreate it with smaller size and then extend the "root" LV and ext4 filesystem with the unallocated space of the "pve" VG.
Because then I can't use Home Assistant OS because it requires a "local-lvm" container when installed. And maybe i will use in the future
Can you please send these actions in more detail? I just deleted the "local-lvm" container, but I can't create a new one because it says in "thinpool" that there are no free disks
First HomeAssistent doesn't require to be installed on "local-lvm". You don't need to use that install script. You can install HomeAssistant OS in few minutes by manually installing it following the installation guide on the HomeAssistant website.
Second, I asked why you don'T just move your transmission from "local" to "local-lvm"...not HomeAssistant from "local-lvm" to "local".
You need to do that manually in CLI. Similar to here: https://access.redhat.com/documenta...nistration/thinly_provisioned_volume_creation
