I recently installed Proxmox on a single node for a home lab running on an Intel NUC7. I am impressed by how well things are working and am really happy to have migrated from ESXi 5.5 to Proxmox.
I am still learning a lot and have become a frequent visitor of this forum for information.
One question I did not find an answer for is this: What is actually taking up the space on my Local drive?
Notice it is Local and not Local-LVM.
Currently 60% of the space is used (22.77GB of 36.17GB).
If I look under Content for the storage it just tells me I have the virtio-win ISO file that takes up about 300mb.
So, what is taking up the rest of the 22GB on this storage?
I just did a 'standard installation' and don't remember changing anything. Looking under Summary I can see Type is Directory. Content is VZDump backup file, ISO image, Container Template.
What I did do, was installing Proxmox several times to learn about the system. I was under the impression the storage was formatted each time, but I don't know if that is correct.
Is there some way I can 'browse' the contents of Local or see a list of what is in there?
All virtual machines are (should be) stored in other storage and if I view the content of these drives this is confirmed.
I hope the above makes sense
If you need additional information please let me know.
Thank you in advance.
