After that you get prompted to select the target hard disk(s). The
|

`Options` button aside lets you select the target file system, and

defaults to `ext4`.
|

defaults to `ext4`. The installer uses LVM if you select 'ext3',
|

'ext4' or 'xfs' as file system, and offers additional option to
|
||||
restrict LVM space.
|

|

If you have more than one disk, you can also select ZFS here. ZFS
|

supports several software RAID levels, so this is specially useful if

you do not have a hardware RAID controller.

|
||||
The installer creates a Volume Group (VG) called `pve`, and additional
|
||||
Logical Volumes (LVs) called `root`, `data` and `swap`. The size of
|
||||
those volumes can be controlled with:
|
||||
|
||||
`hdsize`::
|
||||
|
||||
Defines the total HD size to be used. This way you can save free
|
||||
space on the HD for further partitioning (i.e. for an additional PV
|
||||
and VG on the same hard disk that can be used for LVM storage).
|
||||
|
||||
`swapsize`::
|
||||
|
||||
To define the size of the `swap` volume. Default is the same size as
|
||||
installed RAM, with 4GB minimum and `hdsize/8` as maximum.
|
||||
|
||||
`maxroot`::
|
||||
|
||||
The `root` volume size. The `root` volume stores the whole operation
|
||||
system.
|
||||
|
||||
`maxvz`::
|
||||
|
||||
Define the size of the `data` volume, which is mounted at
|
||||
'/var/lib/vz'.
|
||||
|
||||
`minfree`::
|
||||
|
||||
To define the amount of free space left in LVM volume group `pve`.
|
||||
16GB is the default if storage available > 128GB, `hdsize/8` otherwise.

|
||||
NOTE: LVM requires free space for snapshot creation.

|
||||
|
||||
If you have more than one disk, you can also use ZFS as file system.
|
||||
ZFS supports several software RAID levels, so this is specially useful
|
||||
if you do not have a hardware RAID controller.
|
||||
|
||||
TIP: ZFS uses a lot of memory, so it is best to add additional 8-16GB RAM
|
||||
if you want to use ZFS.
