Hello All,
I've mounted an empty 256GB USB Flash in my PVE data folder (which has 90 GB remaining). I can fill the USB flash (Mount as DIR storage in GUI) up to about 50GB and then it complains that it's out of space for more backups relative to the PVE size.

Am I doing something wrong? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

How does it show up in pvs, vgs, and lvs?

Maybe that is my problem? I've mounted it as a directory. Not an LVM.

Should I create a Volume Group and LVM in it and access it that way? (never done that with USB).

pvs, vgs, and lvs don't show it.

Thanks for the help!
 
I have directories under Storage that correspond with mount points...whatever mounts to that point. I can't answer why it's limiting to 50GB but try creating a volume group and LVM.
