Hi, ive been playin aroud with proxmox for long time and now planing to go in production. I have a Dell Poweredge r710 with five 1 TB disks. I have created a Raid 5 level, but as i was tryin i read that proxmox can't be installed in a disk with more than 2 TB, so i found a solution that i made smaller partitions with raid controller. My question is what kind of partitions to make for proxmox. All the 4 TB will be used for vm storage. Thanx in advance

Hi,
it depends on your usage. The easiest way is to install proxmox on the first lun (less 2TB) - use therefore the bootparam maxroot (e.g. maxroot=30 to get a 30GB root-partition).
After that extend the volume group pve with the second large lun and resize the logical volume data (leave 4GB free space in the volume group for snapshot/backup).
If you want to build a cluster of two machines, you can also use a part of the raid as drdb-device (redundant storage).

hi
we run a cluster of small 1U servers here - having only 2 x SAS disks as RAID-1.
We use maxroot for the root-partition, but I'd opt for another maxdata-bootparam in order to limit the /dev/mapper/pve-data size.
background-info: we'd like to mount several further partitions and use bind mounts for VEs to have eg. separate /var/log directories in order to not kill a running VE just because the log-partition gets filled 100%.
of course a gui-based way to resize the pvedata or mount further lvm-volumes would be very nice.

hi,
in my dell server I made a raid 5 but splited into two virtual disk. when installing the proxmox it recognises the two disk, one is 9 Gb and the other is 4 Tb. The deal is after installing i want to add the second disk as a storage LVM, and I get this error
can anybody tell me more clear how to split the disks or how to add the other disk in proxmox.. thanx
