Hi,

I have a 1TB SSD. If I use the default installation using the whole drive then it assigns 100GB to local partition, where I could only upload the ISO images and container templates. And the second partition local-lvm is the remaining 800GB for VMs.

I think 100GB for ISO images it too much and I would rather just adjust it to 50GB and add the remaining 50GB to the local-lvm.

How do I achieve this?

Thanks

Dont use installation defaults. There is an option to customize disk layout during the setup phase - utilize it.

thanks, I can see it offers options such as swapsize, maxroot, minfree, maxvz but I have no clue where to adjust local and local-lvm??

no idea what the listed options are for anyway
 
See the chapter "Advanced LVM Configuration Options" in the linked "Installation" wiki article.
What you probaly want is to set maxroot to 50 GB if you want your "local" storage only to be 50 GB.
