Hi all,
I am very new to the Proxmox scene (and Hypervisation in general), and I find it quite easy to figure out how to do stuff most of the time by following the Proxmox forum and general KVM tutorials.
2 days ago, I finally decided to wipe my XCP-NG powered laptop and load it with Proxmox. It was a clean install, so it was quite easy to add it to my cluster.
But I quickly run into the error message described in the title as I try to take snapshots or create VM:
As the error message indicated, I have 12 logical volumes, like below:
What I don't understand is why wouldn't it allow me to add logical volume beyond 12, I do not have such a problem in my desktop.
My setup:
Is the info provided enough? Could someone give me a hint on what is causing this?
