[SOLVED] PBS Storage Issue

[zuber]

Hi, does anyone have an idea how I can use the sda disk for storage? The entire system is installed on sdb, and that's where backups accumulate, but I would also like to use sda. I would appreciate your help and maybe an explanation why sda3 has 3.5TB but only slightly over 100GB is being used.

Hey,

what is on sda? Looks like it might be an old PVE installation, if you don't need that anymore you can select /dev/sda and then click "Wipe disk", after that you can select it under "Directory" when clicking "Create: Directory", there you can select to use it as a new datastore.

looks like the VG is active, you can deactivate it with

vgchange -a n <VG_NAME>

you get the name using vgs, it should just be pve, but just to be sure check with vgs. Then wiping it should work.
