Adding Proxmox Partations - Local and Local LVM

Increase the storage by adding both the partations into a single storage volume - Deleting the Local-LVM Volume.

---

NOTE: Please make sure the steps mentioned below are done before deploying any machines on the Proxmox Server.

---

1. Go to Datacenter > Storage in the Proxmox GUI.

   

2. Click on Local-LVM Storage.

   

3. Delete the Local-LVM Partation by going to: Datacenter > Storage > Click on Local-LVM and Click on Remove.

   

4. Local-LVM is now deleted but the size will not reflect immediately on the Local Partation of the Proxmox Server.

   

5. Now we have to run a few commands in the Command Line of the Proxmox Server: akt (proxmox-server-name) > Shell.

   

    lvremove /dev/pve/data
    lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/pve/root
    resize2fs /dev/mapper/pve-root

6. Local Partation now resized to it’s max capacity (after deleting the Local-LVM Partation).

   

7. To make sure we can deploy Container and VM Disks into the Local Partation: Datacenter > Storage > Click on Local > Click on edit.

   

8. In the drop-down menue of Content - Select “Disk Image” and “Container”. After doing this click on “OK”.

Feel free to deploy anything on the Local Volume of your Proxmox Server :)
