ProxMox Node Summary Incorrectly Showing 100GB Available Space

[sponitz]

Hello everyone,
I recently ran into an issue with my ProxMox setup, and I hope someone here can help me out. I was trying to migrate a VM on my node and followed the instructions per the documentation. However, after the process was complete, I noticed that the summary page for my node now shows that I only have 100GB available when I have two 1TB SSDs in a RAID 1 configuration. This means it should show 1TB of open space.

I've tried searching through the ProxMox forums and documentation, but I haven't found a solution to this problem. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know of a way to correct it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

You got two types of storages. A 100GB directory storage called "local" and probably a 900GB LVM-Thin storage called "local-lvm". "local" got a filesystem and therefore can be used to store files/folders. "local-lvm" is a blocklevel storage and can only store virtual disks. The node summary is only showing how much space "local" got. "/ HD space" means space of your root filesystem.

Hi,

the summary page only shows the root partition usage, not that of the enire disk.
This is because PVE uses LVM for thin provisioning of disks by default.

You can e.g. look at the output of lvs, which shows you these different logical volumes.
Or you look at the pages for these two different LVs, if you click on either local (SF-PROX-02) [which is the root partition] or local-lvm (SF-PROX-02) [the aforementioned thin-provisioned volume] in the server view on the left side.

Hopefully this clears this for!
