I have a clean install of 4.2 on a 2 x 600GB SAS. The server also has a 2TB drive and a 500GB SSD that I want to use for non-important VM's and a backup of the VM's. What is the suggested method for adding storage with 4.2 and lvm thin?
 
Hi,

I would use the use the 2TB as ext4 mount under /var/lib/vz and the 500GB as LVM-Thin.
