Proxmox: "local" out of storage.

[matthiasvd]

Hi!
I have Proxmox installed on a 32GB USB drive. I am currently out of storage on my "local" partition:


I do see that there is a 13GB "local-lvm" partition:

Would it be possible to "move" the storage space from the "local-lvm" to "local"? At times I have 0B free, to the point where I am unable to change settings/open a shell of a VM because I'm out of storage.

TIA!

yes its possible. Assuming you want to sacrifice entire local-lvm :
1) remove the local-lvm storage from Proxmox, either via GUI/CLI or edit /etc/pve/storage.cfg
2) remove the lvm volume https://www.2daygeek.com/how-to-delete-remove-lvm-logical-volume-in-linux/
3) expand your root partition and filesystem: https://dade2.net/kb/how-to-extend-filesystem-on-linux/

note that you dont need all the commands in those guides. Read them carefully and run judiciously
