New Proxmox machine HDD not fully usable

[lastb0isct]

Hi All,

I use local storage for some intensive VMs, since I don't have a robust enough storage system yet. I currently just installed proxmox on a new-to-me Dell R620. I am using 146GB drives in a RAID1 and the installer detected them as such. But now that i've joined this machine to my cluster it looks like only around 35GB are available. I poked around in here and found a couple commands to run. Not sure what they mean or how to reconfigure it to use all the space, but here are the outputs:

root@dell:~# pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda3 pve lvm2 a-- 136.00g 15.84g
root@dell:~# vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
pve 1 3 0 wz--n- 136.00g 15.84g

data pve twi-a-tz-- 78.00g 0.00 0.43
root pve -wi-ao---- 34.00g
swap pve -wi-ao---- 8.00g

Help!! Thanks!!

Here is the size that I'm seeing within the Proxmox GUI. Before i had the dell node added to the cluster i was able to see an LVM-Thin storage on it which seemed to have the remaining size on it. But now that is not visible.

Any help here?

when you join a cluster, you lose your storage configuration (it is cluster-wide). just re-add your lvm-thin storage (limited to the node(s) that actually have it), it is possible from the GUI.

Ah, i was able to figure it out. I reformatted to ext3, do you know why Proxmox by default doesn't use the entire disk for local storage?

Normally, you do not have one filesystem for everything. Therefore there are at least 2 filesystems on Proxmox VE, one for root and one for the data. You installed with thin LVM. Please read about storage in general here:
