Hi guys.

I have 3 drive on my Proxmox:
  1. 500GB SSD (Proxmox Install)
  2. 1TB NVMe (VMs)
  3. 500GB NVMe (VMs)

I want to know if I can remove local-lvm (pve) to extend its capacity to my main local-lvm (pve) partition dive, so that i can store more backups on there as its running low.
I don't have any VMs install on local-lvm (pve), as they are all on two separate NVMe drives.

I watched the NetworkChuck video https://youtu.be/_u8qTN3cCnQ?t=892 on it so know how to do it.

  1. lvremove /dev/pve/data
  2. lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/pve/root
  3. resize2fs /dev/mapper/pve-root
My question is if i can safety do this now after having my system for a while and setting up VM's, and not having done it during the initial install?

I'm guessing yes, but wanted to make 100% sure first.

Thanks
