Hi guys , here i am trying to get used to pve. (I came from VM ware EXSi). Im used to use "thin provisioning" option in vmware. It allowed me to set maximum drive space allocation but vm will use minimum and dynamically grow as guest OS needs . How should I accomplish same on pve ? I created a VM and set 200GB at the storage capacity but can not set any flag about thin provisioning. Now , If I list lslbl , it shows that created VM is taking the 200GB. root@pve:~# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 5.5T 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 1007K 0 part ├─sda2 8:2 0 512M 0 part └─sda3 8:3 0 3.9T 0 part ├─pve-swap 253:0 0 8G 0 lvm [SWAP] ├─pve-root 253:1 0 1.2T 0 lvm / ├─pve-data_tmeta 253:2 0 15.8G 0 lvm │ └─pve-data-tpool 253:4 0 1.9T 0 lvm │ ├─pve-data 253:5 0 1.9T 0 lvm │ └─pve-vm--100--disk--0 253:6 0 200G 0 lvm └─pve-data_tdata 253:3 0 1.9T 0 lvm └─pve-data-tpool 253:4 0 1.9T 0 lvm ├─pve-data 253:5 0 1.9T 0 lvm └─pve-vm--100--disk--0 253:6 0 200G 0 lvm sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
I can see from gui , that is is possible to expand disk. So ... perhaps I should assign a little storage at beginning and then manually expand if needed. Please share your idea about this. I need to begin creating some VMs and work on them , I dont want to create in a wrong way and have to destroy later. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Libre de virus. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list pve-user@pve.proxmox.com https://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
