[mfaridi]

I have HP server , with four HDDs , I install on Proxmox 4.2.2 on first HDD , and I can not find options for partitioning other HDD, during Installation .
So what I must do ?
Do I partitioning three HDD with Fdisk and then mount them ?
I need clean way .
I want when first. HDD failed and I install OS again , I can see three HDD and use them again .
How I can partitioning three HDD like proxmox partitioning ?
Can I partitioning three HDD like LVM or mapper ?
I want put all VM on three HDDs

Yes, you must partition your disk by yourself.

yes you can do this with lvextend, but then you have a raid 0 over 4 disks if you extend pve/data.

I would use zfs if you have enough ram.

Thanks
So I have to partitioning other HDDs by Fdisk

I wish in next version of proxmox , we have options for partitioning and mount other HDD during installation process
and we can do this with more options in first installation of proxmox,
I like this distro because it is pure Linux and I do not enjoy others like Vmware

if you want more control over the partitioning, you can install PVE on an existing Debian Jessie install: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Jessie
