Can someone please guide me how to configure my Storage as a proper way so i can get my available space.

Thank you in advance.

depending on which kind of storage you want to add, there are multiple possibilities, eg. a simple directory (partitioning and mkfs)

lvm: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_(LVM)
zfs: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS_on_Linux

all of those have to be done on the cli (but a gui is in the works)

Hello Dominik,

Thanks for sharing the information but when i tried to create any new disk as a LVM or LVM-Thin it is showing only 136GB disk not my all disks that i have.



Please let me know what step i miss.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

the 'storage->add' way only adds storage config of existing storages, it does not create new ones (like i said, this has to be done manually and on the cli)

Hi Dominik,

Yes, you are correct i am able to create a new storage but for every single disk should i follow the same process?

My current scenario is we have multiple HDD's with various capacities. I want to club all these disks into a single storage so that I may make it available to all VMs.

Thank You.

i would not recommend to stripe the disks in one big lvm vg. if one disk fails, you risk losing all your data, instead use something like zfs raid10 (or hardware raid)
