Hello all.
I was hoping to get some advice on migrating my PVE install from the dual 32gig SD cards to larger ones. I find that I am running out of room on my prialmary PVE host's disk.
I am hoping for a way that does not require me to do a full reinstall.

Thanks!
 
check data used with
ncdu -x /
(need apt install ncdu)
often missing/failing mount point fill system partition.
or move iso elsewhere.
PVE itself use < 8 GB

edit: sd card isn't recommended for PVE, quickly wearout + sd card haven't smart status, imo even dual is risky.

I would strongly recommend replacing both SD cards with external usb3 SSDs (if you have no more room for internal disk), and different makes/models at that - so they have less of a chance of dying around the same time.
