Hy all of you,

I'm brand new in using proxmox VE2.1 and I really appreciate this tool.
I'm surfing the web to learn and find appropriate resources.
I also try to organise correctly my environment.

One of the first question is whereis my diskspace?
I explain, I had a 500GB RAID disk and here is my command line result :

root@proxmox:~# lvdisplay

root@proxmox:~# df -H
Filesystem             Size   Used  Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/pve-root   102G   1.1G    96G   2% /
tmpfs                  4.2G      0   4.2G   0% /lib/init/rw
udev                   4.2G   205k   4.2G   1% /dev
tmpfs                  4.2G    20M   4.2G   1% /dev/shm
/dev/mapper/pve-data   366G   734M   365G   1% /var/lib/vz
/dev/sda1              519M    59M   434M  12% /boot
/dev/fuse               32M    13k    32M   1% /etc/pve


It gives us 448GB used.

Is it normal that 96 Gb are used for root? Is it possible/dangerous to change this?If yes, how can I work?

Then, when I read the documentation, it is explained that LVM storage is the best to use, but when I create one, I have almost no space free (see below).


Is it normal?
Some posts on the are explaining that PVE already create one and it is useless to create one more if the hardware doesn't change. Is it correct?

Does a new LVM storage will adapt its size dynamically so that creating a new one is relevant?

What I would like to understand now is if it is correct to work with directory storage only ? Will snapshot still available if no LVM is used or does all the directory created are already "inside" the default LVM ?
Should I create folders under the /var/lib/vz which is the LVM default?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Regards,

Florent THOMAS
