Hi guys , i'm still tunning my 5.5 Tb server.
While setting storage options during install process, I set 2000 for hd
size, so I have 3.5 TB free to assign later.
my layout is as follows:
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 2T 0 part
├─pve-swap 253:0 0 8G 0 lvm [SWAP]
├─pve-root 253:1 0 1T 0 lvm /
├─pve-data_tmeta 253:2 0 9G 0 lvm
│ └─pve-data 253:4 0 949.6G 0 lvm
└─pve-data_tdata 253:3 0 949.6G 0 lvm
└─pve-data 253:4 0 949.6G 0 lvm
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
My question is:
Is it possible to expand sda3 partition later without service outage ?
Is it possible to expand pve group on sda3 partition ?
You don't need to expand sda3 really. You can just create a new
partition, create a new PV with it and add the new PV to pve VG.
In case to create a proxmox cluster, what should I do with that 3.5 TB free
?
I don't know really how to reply to this. If you're building a cluster,
I suggest you configure some kind of shared storage; NFS server or Ceph
cluster for example.
Is there a best partition type suited for this ? Can I do it without
service outage?
For what?
I have not any service running yet , so I can experiment what it takes.
Any thought about this would be great.
Maybe you can start telling us your target use for this server/cluster.
Also some detailed spec of the server would help; for example does it
have a RAID card with more than one disk, or you're using a 6TB single disk?
Cheers
Eneko
