Hello, just a side note I'm ok with linux but very new with proxmox and networking in general. I'm going through some YT tutorials to learn how to use it.

I've installed PVE on an ODROID H3 with 64GB eMMC storage (all brand new). However when logging in via the local PVE IP address, the Summary dashboard (On the "Datacenter" page) shows I'm using 2.62GiB of 40.93GiB. Why is it so low? When performing the installation I set it to use the max which was about 58GB.

If I click on "pve" which is the name of the server underneath Datacenter, the summary there says I'm using 2.62GB of 24.10GB.

Note this is a fresh install and I've not created any VMs or done anything at all yet.

Code:
root@pve:~# lvs
  LV   VG  Attr       LSize   Pool Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
  data pve twi-a-tz--  16.83g             0.00   1.58                          
  root pve -wi-ao---- <24.66g                                                  
  swap pve -wi-ao----   7.12g

Code:
root@pve:~# lsblk
NAME               MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk0            179:0    0 58.2G  0 disk

  └─pve-data_tdata 253:3    0 16.8G  0 lvm
    └─pve-data     253:4    0 16.8G  0 lvm
mmcblk0boot0       179:8    0    4M  1 disk
mmcblk0boot1       179:16   0    4M  1 disk

Just need a little help interpreting these 2 outputs. I can see there's a couple of tiny partitions and PVE seems to be installed on the 58GB partition.

Under Disks, it says "No Disks found", and in LVM-Thin it says the pve Volume Group is 18.07 GB.

I just want to make sure I have a decent amount of space available as I plan on installing opnsense and TrueNAS Scale (I will attach some 3.5" hard disks later)
