[SOLVED] Installing on a small disk

[Razva]

Hello,

I'm installing Proxmox on a POC that has small (60 GB) SSDs. I noticed that, by default when using XFS, Proxmox creates a local partition, and a local-lvm partition. Both are so small that are basically useless.

I'm trying to understand the installation arguments, as supplied the installation wiki.

What I want is very simple:

• use XFS
• allocate 4GB of swap
• have a single `/` partition and use it for everything (VMs, ISO etc)

I guess that `hdsize` needs to be 60, and `swapsize` should be 4. But what about the rest (maxroot, maxvz and minfree)?

Thank you!
