include::attributes.txt[]
Most people install {pve} directly on a local disk. The {pve}
installation CD offers several options for local disk management. The
current default setup uses LVM and 'ext4' for the root
partition. LVM-thin is used for VM images, because this has efficient
support for snapshots and clones.
installation CD offers several options for local disk management, and
the current default setup uses LVM. The installer let you select a
single disk for such setup, and uses that disk as physical volume for
the **V**olume **G**roup (VG) 'pve'. The following output is from a
test installation using a small 8GB disk:
----
# pvs

/dev/sda3 pve lvm2 a-- 7.87g 876.00m
# vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree

The installer allocates three **L**ogical **V**olumes (LV) inside this

root:: Formatted as 'ext4', and contains the operation system.
swap:: Swap partition
data:: This volume uses LVM-thin, and is used to store VM
images. LVM-thin is preferable for this task, because it offers
efficient support for snapshots and clones.
