LVM Volume shown as empty but it's not

[Halfman]

Hello, I have a weird behavior with an LVM volume. It seems that the disk usage is not shown correctly.
I have mounted the LVM volume on the host using the `mount` command and have move some files on it.
The `df` command is showing the good value for disk usage but Proxmox interface and LVM commands seems stuck on "0,00 %" usage. Where is my issue?


Here is the result of the lvs command :


Here is the result of the df command :


It seems that the space used by the files I created is not allocated correctly. Lvdisplay show the same numbers :


Thank you for your help!

seems you created a filesystem on top of your thinpool - usually you just add the volume group and the thin volume in /etc/pve/storage.cfg, and proxmox creates thin-volumes for each virtual disk you create...
please post the contents of your `/etc/pve/storage.cfg`, as well as the output of `pvesm status`, `vgs`, `lvs -a`.

Also take a look at our reference documentation: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pvesm.html#_lvm_thin_backend

Hello, thank you for your fast answer. Yep, it seems that I made it the wrong way.

Here is the content of my `/etc/pve/storage.cfg" :



`pvesm status` :


`vgs` :


`lvs -a` :

if you're really sure that you haven't saved anything on `/download` yet - you could just remove the thin volume and create it again - then do not create a filesystem on top of it and don't mount it - if the thinvolume is called download then your storage.cfg entry should already be correct.

Yep there is no important data on this. Ok I will do this, thank you for your help.
