I have a ThinkCenter M93p with 180 GB SSD
How do I configer the disk.

I think Proxmox itself should run on the
Partition root = Disk size recommended?
Partition swap = Disk size recommended?
The rest schould be for VMs & CTs?

Proxmox comes as a pre-configured software appliance.
The disk-layout was chosen by the proxmox team for a reason. There is no need for you to configure it different.
As always you can do things manual, but that is a different approach (not using the pve iso).
I have done that because I wanted to have a different partition layout. I was more efficient in space usage but also had a lot of trouble with root partition filling up etc.
So best for you I think is: leave it as it is and get yourself some additional disks/ssds. You are probably not getting far anyways with your 180gb ;)

You are looking to the physical disk which is occupied by the lvm. So from a physical perspective the device is occupied / filled as reflected in the screenshots.
You should research and read about the concepts of LVM to get a better understanding what you are looking at.
Technically there is nothing wrong imho. The only thing I can see is wrong here is your perspective and perhaps expectation.
 
Now I found This in the docs THX

after installation, I messed around it looks as if I have deleted the
# default image store on ZFS based installation
zfspool: local-zfs
pool rpool/data
sparse
content images,rootdir

meaning the local-zfs

I added something without knowledge what so I have now

I think the
local-lvm is the same as
local.data - which it seems that I have created.

Any way
How can I get back to the standard config as shown above?
What do you think?
