Hi,
Complete noobie both to Proxmox and Linux.
I have Proxmox set up with several VMs and 1 container. The problem is I have now run out of space
in Local. I have 2 disks set up (Passport & Passport2) both have loads of space and I would like to move as much as possible onto
either of these disks.
Any help and noddy guide would be appreciated.

Regards in advance

Many thanks for the YouTube link although it is of a prior version of Proxmox most of the content is relevant.
One question, I followed the video and moved the root disk to another of my disks and deleted the source however it appears not to have freed up any space in my local disk.
Any ideas?

primary Proxmox interfaces and concepts are very stable and rarely change.

Not really. Your description of the action you made is not clear. It also doesnt seem to have anything to do with your original question.

You'll need to provide command line outputs, screenshots, step by step description of what you did, what you had in capacity, what you have now, what you think you should have.


Good luck
