Hello guys,
i have been using Proxmox now for quite a while in a few small setups. Now im doing a new installation on a brand new server with 6.55TB of disk space with the recent version.
Im very confused about this new lvm-thin thing, i have read the wiki pages about it but still im confused.
My goal with this new server is to migrate quite a few VM´s from older server´s to it. There are server running Windows 2k8 to 2k16 in RAW and some as qcow2, as well as a few Linux machines.
I really don´t know if i need this whole LVM thing or not , because i need to make snapshots from time to time and i also have to make backups from VM´s and so on.
Are there any big disadvantages if i would use a simple ext4 partition mounted to /var/lib/vz as i did the years before?
And if not, how do i do this?
