I don't understand why Proxmox indicates that my SSD which I basically only used for the Proxmox OS and application (PVE) itself and not for e.g. storage of ISO, VM's or data is for 98% in use. It's a 1 TB SSD NVM disk. On the local (LVM) only two machines are stored of respectively 32 GB and 16 GB disk space. What does 98% usage means here? The PVE installation is not that big I assume to reach 1 TB? See screenshots:

This is how lvm works and does not mean that your usable storage is below 2%.
It just says that this disk is used for lvm and the 2% free is meant as a buffer to offer you a little more flexibility in case something goes wrong e.g. to expand your pv a little more.
