Hey everyone, I'm currently using proxmox to virtualize my OPNsense and another VM. Today when I went to create a third VM, everything crashed with I/O errors, and I realized my local-lvm was out of space. This was odd to me since I have a 1TB drive and only have two small VMs.

To my surprise, proxmox is only using 100GB of my disk. Can someone please guide me on how I can fix this without having to reinstall proxmox? I would prefer to have my OPNsense VM running while I fix this. Here are some diagnostics to help. Thanks

I can't give you specifics but generally what is likely necessary:

Backup anything important. You will be doing things that risk loosing data.
Make a bootable USB with a live Linux.
Look up instructions on resizing partitions.
Boot into the live Linux from the USB
Resize your existing Proxmox partition

I'll give that a shot with gparted on the weekend if all else fails. Thanks!

I would also make sure you have a Proxmox install USB ready to go just in case.
