Greetings Team:

I'm confused. I have a ~1TB SSD and am struggling to see how I can use the entire SSD here.

Code: 
root@pve1:~# df -h

So I see the following:
/dev/mapper/pve-root 94G 27G 63G 30% /

Well, why is it only 94G? I have other drives installed (sdb2, sdc1, sda1). Apologies for my ignorance here.

Because your LV used for root filesystem is only 100 GB. 800 GB is your LVM-thin and can only be used by VMs/LXCs.

Really appreciate the reply. Is LV then always a percentage of the drive size, or how is it determined?
