Background
I have 5 2TB disks. I have installed proxmox and am able to create new virtual machines and run them. The ability to successfully create and use VMs lead me to believe I installed everything correctly. I have run through the LVM documentation as well as the proxmox documentation and attempted the process I read in those documents without success. I believe there is something simple I am not understanding but I am not sure what that is. I would like someone to point out the user error
I have been trying to do this for ~3 days now between projects at work.
Issues
Request
What are the steps to expand my local-lvm from the single physical 2TB disk to a LVM of 5 2TB (10TB total) disks? Links, information, or a step by step would be much appreciated!

- Unable to successfully mount the LVMs I have created.
- Unable to expand local-lvm to include additional drives in my server.
