Storage on New Installation of PVE 5

[nexusguy59]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to add my second drive to the local-lvm (LVM Thin) So I have seen the following in some of the threads:

- lsblk
- pvs
- vgs
- lvs
- lvdisplay

after I removed the LVM-thin:
- lvremove /dev/pve/data
- lvdisplay
- lsblk

After I created the classic LVM
- lvcreate -L 598G -n data pve (in may case the volume is 589Gbyte)
- lsblk

After I have formatted the volume
- mkfs.ext4 /dev/pve/data

And I have added one line to the fstab
-/dev/pve/data /var/lib/vz ext4 defaults 0 1

But my second drive is /dev/sdb with the /dev/sdb1 being my first partition

I have used this to do it in the past:
- vgdisplay
- lvdisplay
- fdisk -l | grep '^Disk /dev/' <- Shows the physical drives available
- pvcreate /dev/vdb (/dev/sdb1)
- lvmdiskscan -l
- vgextend vg /dev/vdb <- I am assuming vgextend pve /dev/sdb1
- lvm lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/pve/data
- resize2fs -p ???? <- I am not sure what to do here

This is my setup as far as the GUI goes:
See the attached screenshot.
So I need to add the 1 tb drive to this but at the /dev/pve/data so that it reads more than 150gb. The second image pve_install2.png is the /dev/pve/data space as you can see reads 150gb

Thanks,

So I researched some more and found my answer here for anyone else who has this issue arise. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Extending_Local_Container_Storage, If you read the previous post and looked at the second attachment then you saw I only had 150 gb after using the link above I now have 1.06 tb. See the attachment.

Thanks everyone.

Hi Nexus!

I got this problem a while ago. I remove my pve-data lv and resized it to the root one.

Use this command with the "--resizefs" parameter and it will probably help you:

lvextend --resizefs -l +100%FREE /dev/pve/data
