Install with no LVM-Thin

[adamb]

Does anyone know of a easy way to have the installer use normal LVM instead of LVM-Thin?

you can set maxvz to 0 within installer. No LVM-thin will be created.
edit: to use file based qcow2 on ext4, you can resize local-lvm volume to 100% size of the disk with : lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/pve/root ; resize2fs /dev/mapper/pve-root

That is a good idea!

Then you can resize local-lvm volume to 100% size of the disk with : lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/pve/root ; resize2fs /dev/mapper/pve-root

Yet then you would have no useful LVM at all, because the volume group is already exhausted.

Maxvz 0 was a great idea.

Then I simply add the pve VG as LVM storage and we are in business.
