Hi!
i am trying to install PVE 4.2 on a new Hetzner Server.
The Server has two 3TB Sata Disks on an LSI HWR.
As soon as Proxmox wants to configure the partitions, unfortunately i get:
"unable to activate volume group"
Any idea, what might be wrong here?

here's a screenshot of the KVM after the error occured:

hm, looking at it again, i think it's not being able to create the thni LVM, could that be?
Is there any boot option i can give the machine to prevent it from doing so, as i don't want thin anyways...
Thanks
Sascha
 
Solved the problem...
I needed to go into advanced setting when installation asks for the harddisk to use.
Then just take some of the space away,(i shrinked it by 2 GB) and everything will work like expected.
cheers everyone!
