New Install Problem

[fixxlee]

Hi, I stalled Proxmox over Debian (due to issues with my intel nuc showing no hard disks available with the proxmox-ve installed)

I have 2 issues with my system

1. I have to manually run pvestatd restart to get my nodes to show online
2. I have no local-lvm storage

I'm new to proxmox so any help would be appreciated!

Not sure about point 1 but for point two you could manually create a LVM-Thin through the CLI and then add that LVM-Thin in the GUI as a new storage of type "LVM-Thin". Point 2 worked fine here ontop of a debian.

From my notes how I created my LVM-Thin:

pvcreate /dev/mapper/lukslvm
vgcreate vgluks /dev/mapper/lukslvm
lvcreate -l99%FREE -n lvthin vgluks
lvconvert --type thin-pool vgluks/lvthin

If you already got a working LVM with enough space in your VG you can of cause ignore the first two lines and only use line 3+4 to create the LV and convert it into a LVM-Thin pool. If you don't got free space in your VG you could reduce the size of your existing LV with the "lvresize" command.
