[SOLVED] Proxmox only shows 100GB in summary instead of the full 500GB (Maybe 475GB. I had that on Windows)

I recently set up Proxmox, but the summary does not show my full 500GB. Screenshot 2024-09-02 122929.png
I did verify that it was using full-size when I was installing it.
I looked at the Disks tab, and it does show my full hard drive storage.

My (Possibly wrong) guess is that the bottom device (/dev/nvme0n1p3) is not mounted. This does not make sense, how would it have ~100GB if /dev/nvme0n1p3 is not mounted?
 
That HD-space you see there is the "local" storage, of which Proxmox if you use the default installed partitions a section for "local-lvm" storage.
local storage is file-based, wheras local-lvm is block-based, which is why that graph doesn't show it.
Look at the summary-pages for local and local-lvm, or go to the datacenter-summary, where you can see all the storage combined (still best to keep an eye on the individual disks as well, because if one of them runs out of space, having space in the other one doesn't matter, the full disk still can't use it.
