Upload file limited to 100gb

[Niex]

I have a server with one raid 10 array of 800gb to systems and another raid 10 array of 2tb to files
I installed proxmox on 2tb array, but i cant upload files larger then 100gb due to limitation.
How solve this issue ?
Thanks.

How much space do you have on the root file system used by the system itself?

What exactly do you want to achieve? Maybe there is another way to do it?

I want to use 3TB to upload vmdk images to convert to pve and some larger other iso files
the 800gb i will run systems in linux and windows virtualization

Thanks for the screenshot.

As you can see, the 3TB disk is currently only used partially. Did you intentionally limit the size during the installation, or did you increase it after the installation?

Can you post the output of lsblk as that would give a more complete picture?

Depending on what you actually want, you will most likely need to increase the 3rd partition, or add another partition to make use of the 3TB volume. You will also need to configure a storage on /dev/sda. Could be a directory or LVM, LVM thin if you want to use snapshots with LVM.

If you upload files via the GUI, it will temporarily be stored in the /tmp directory which is located in the root FS. Therefore, that won't work well for very large files in this situation where the root FS is not large enough.

If you want to import those vmdk files to be used for VMs, consider accessing them directly where they are (network share?). Create the VM (without disks) as you need it, use the qm importdisk (manual page) command. It will convert the disk image to the correct format on the fly and store the result already in the target storage that you choose for that VM. This saves you from having the disk image around twice before you import it to the VM.
