Hello there! My experience with Proxmox is really short. I am trying to learn it in my own tiny homelab, to use it on a bigger scale in my company in the future. But I run into a problem recently. My homelab serv is just a regular PC (HP EliteDesk) with one disc basically (there is one more but it is strictly dedicated to one VM) and this one SSD run out of space. So I decided to buyt bigger one, clone my old 240GiB SSD to a new, bigger one (500GiB).That went ok, but now I'd like to extend local-lvm to get more space for my VMs and LXCs. Could you please give me some info how to make it safe and smooth? Thanks in advance.

Here is how it looks after clonning:

Bash:
root@serv:~# lsblk
