Would somebody help me sort out what I've got here? This setup I've inherited because the admin quit. I'm not sure if some level of raid is setup. This is an IBM blade server in a chassis, it's directly attached storage, no Sans. The IBM Director app is down so I can't use it to check the number of drive, etc.

My immediate problem is I'm out of disk space allocated to pve-data.

df -h if I add up the gb in the size column I come up with roughly a 150 gb. fdisk -l tells me that /dev/sda is a 145 gb disk. I was thinking everything is loaded on just this one drive.
But the numbers don't add up.

Then I've got /dev/sdb/ that's a 293gb drive that doesn't contain a valid partition table.
Is this a drive that's not being used?
Or does Proxmox have something to do with the o\s not seeing it as being a valid partition table?


If you need additional info let me know. And thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions. I've read the doc on Storage for starters.

Sorry for the formatting. I used Notepad ++ to write it up and copied and pasted it and aligned it. After I posted I see it looks terrible.
 
I've a little more info. The server has five - 146 gb drives. Two are mirrored as RAID 0 so the capacity is 146gb. The other three are setup with RAID5 so the capacity is 292gb.
