<font size="-1">Hy all of you,<br>
<br>
I'm brand new in using proxmox VE2.1 and I really appreciate this
tool.<br>
I'm surfing the web to learn and find appropriate resources.<br>
I also try to organise correctly my environment.<br>
<br>
One of the first question is whereis my diskspace?<br>
I explain, I had a 500GB RAID disk and here is my command line
result :<br>

<font size="-1"><font size="-1">Is it normal that 96 Gb are used for
root? Is it possible/dangerous to change this?</font>If yes, how
can I work?<br>
<br>
Then, when I read the documentation, it is explained that LVM
storage is the <a
href="http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model#LVM_Groups_-_An_Ideal_Solution">best
to use</a>, but when I create one, I have almost no space free
(see below). <br>

alt=""><br>
Is it normal?<br>
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?</font><br>
<font size="-1"><font size="-1">Does a new LVM storage will adapt
its size dynamically so that creating a new one is relevant?</font><br>
<br>
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 ?<br>
Should I create folders under the /var/lib/vz which is the LVM
default?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your answers.<br>
