the HDD resize is an issue i wasn't even aware of and FINALLY someone solved it. Thanks a bunch mate, really helpful

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this!! No one else explained how to make better use of the single hard drive. My hard drives are 2TB SSDs and I certainly didn't want the rest of a drive to go to waste for that. You definitely have a new fan and a new subscriber!

[jonathaneberlein]

You are a lifesaver for the hard drive resize explanation. Im new and learning and could not figure out how to get the full hard drive space available. Earned a sub for being easy to follow and great content. Thank you!

I've been banging my head for quite a while about how to setup storage on a single drive for a test install of Proxmox . Thank you for clarifying this!

[pejabadzic]

Very clear and precise explanation. Excellent!!

[dryounas]

what a great series. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for this video. It helped me on a test machine. I'm testing pfsense, pi-hole and gaucamole in proxmox and just had a single drive installed and was way too lazy to get another drive off the shelf! 😉

this doesn't seem to be working anymore. First command returns " Volume group "pve" not found \ Cannot process volume group pve"... or am I missing something? I do however have Proxmox installed on a ZFS raid01, perhaps the command is different for mine

Hello. I didn't understand why to delete local-lvm. Virtual machines are quietly installed on it initially. Just so that the "Summary" line "HD space" displays the full free space? 🤔

[themikemorrishour]

The first two Linux commands were successful but the last one "resize2fs /dev/mapper/pve-root" gave me an error and of course, don't see that storage space merged/added from local-lvm into local as it does in the video. My ProxMox drive is formatted in XFS. Please help

Great tip on setting up storage on the same disk. I'm setting up a homelab with a single 1 tb disk and was hoping there was a way to utilize the full disk space for VM storage. I've subscribed and will be checking out your other videos.

You guys are brilliant!!! You my a$$ lol. I have neveer found a better channel for Proxmox. I am so glad I found you. I am very new to Hypervisors. I am moving to a company where they use hyper-V, which is why I am setting this lab on R720 Poweredge to learn and test. My goal is to install proxmox on the baremetal and then, nested Hyper-V within Proxmox. Any video links for this kind of set up would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!!!

if i have 2 drives, 1 for installing proxmox how to use another drive as it is ?

[mystified]

Thank you for a clear & concise tutorial.Fantastic for non-techie like me! Is it possible that you could increase your mike volume, on laptops, can only just hear you. But thank you again.

[danar]

Won't it cause any security issues, when you deleting pve/data LV and mount everything to pve/root ?

[apotheosis]

hi, thanks for this guide. I am getting the following error when executing resize2fs /dev/mapper/pve-root
resize2fs: bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mapper/pve-root
couldn't find vaild filesystem superblock

edit: I overlooked the fact that i used XFS instead of ext4 during installation, I had to use: xfs_growfs /dev/mapper/pve-root

New to Proxmox just installed fresh 7.1 went through the setup everything went fine but after reboot the server does not connect to the network any help is appreciated.

[hangemhi]

hi and thx for this but i have a second drive but prox does not see it

[davidcorreia]

hi, followed your tutorial...installed proxmox...all went well, i think...
i am stuck at pve login....how should i login or how how should i move to web ui..
i am just unable to do anything...would appreciate your help...thanks..

Literally months wasted because i couldn't find this specific setup. I wanted to run a cheap and simple docker media server and home-assistant OS but didn't have additional machines, and adding home assistant on docker meant no addons. Plus pi-hole and zerotier bridge needed more machines again. It was a messy situation and proxmox was the answer but this disk resizing thing was something i couldn't figure out since i was running a single disk server anyways.
