I am trying to set up a new server and would like to know what is the best option for adding storages for VMs.
The server has a hardware raid card this zfs is not an option afaik.
Here is some output that could help you guys to suggest and help:

        content images,rootdir

lvmthin: QDisk-VMs
        thinpool QDisk-VMs
        vgname QDisk-VMs
        content rootdir,images

lvs
Code:

  QDisk-VMs  QDisk-VMs  twi-a-tz--  912.73g             0.00   0.21
  QDisk-disk QDisk-disk twi-a-tz-- <934.64g             0.00   0.21
  data      pve       twi-a-tz--  151.59g             0.00   1.05
  root      pve       -wi-ao----   59.25g
  swap      pve       -wi-ao----    8.00g

Our intention was to create 2 lvm-thin drives to save the VMs and iso but we may have picked the wrong choice?
What do you recommend?
