need help using added storage

[stlsaint]

So i followed guide that was provided to me from a previous post to add storage. This one:http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model#Use_local_devices_.28like_.2Fdev.2Fsd...2F.2C_FC.29

So i have created two LVM's of my extra drives in server but now using web interface i dont know how to start using those drives to store data. I read about binding them but im not sure how. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I am NOT using KVM!

Hi,
if you use OpenVZ (what you wrote) only the /var/lib/vz-Volume is normaly usable. You can use bind-mounts to map other filesystems to dedicated VMs. Search in the forum for hints.

I think you can
a: expand your pve-data lv (which is mounted to /var/lib/vz)
b: use bind mounts

Have the migration between host in mind for the decision.

I was able to extend my volume group into the other drives to use the space. It wasnt the original way i wanted to go about doing it but it gets the job done so all is well....for now!!
