proxmox lvm thin pool clean up

[Elyesst]

Hello all,
I have setup a Proxmox VE production environment ,after 1 year I noticed that Physical extent is 0, deleting old VMs doesn't free up space.
Any idea how can i proceed to reclaim free space starting from LVM to physical volume ?
I cannot create any new VM ,when trying to create one it just shows this error, PE has reached threshold?
I would appreciate any help. thank you !
best regards,

Hi,

Hello all,
I have setup a Proxmox VE production environment ,after 1 year I noticed that Physical extent is 0, deleting old VMs doesn't free up space.

it should free up space in the thin pool, but won't free up physical extents in the volume group.

Any idea how can i proceed to reclaim free space starting from LVM to physical volume ?

Sadly, thin pools don't support being shrinked (yet). So if there is no free space in the volume group and you don't have another LV in the volume group you can shrink, that won't be possible.

I cannot create any new VM ,when trying to create one it just shows this error, PE has reached threshold?

Is there enough space in the thin pool? What does vgs and lvs show?

I would appreciate any help. thank you !
best regards,
