Planning to upgrade proxmox-ve 6.4.1 to PVE 7+ but running pve6to7, I have some concerns.

WARN: Less than 4 GiB free space on root file system.

My current installation runs on a 32GB flash drive.

Also df -h shows

Wondering if this option you have here would do the trick without loss of data. Could you give me a bit more details when you get a chance?

I haven't use Proxmox in years but only thing i suggest is that you make backups before doing anything else. I would recommend Clonezilla. After you have whole disk backup at least in two different places saved you can test if this works. Then in the worst-case scenario you can just flash that backup back with Clonezilla and everything will be the same as before.

Worked well. Thank you!

I finally upgraded successfully and ran again without issues. A system backup is always a good idea. Thanks

Warning! This will destroy all your VMs, check before you do it.

Não consegui resolver com segurança meu problema com o método acima, então, fiz o seguinte:

1. Com comando vgs verifiquei que pve ainda tinha espaço livre:
   root@pve2:~# vgs

 VG       #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize    VFree
  pve        1   3   0 wz--n- <223.07g 7.30g

2. Confirmei a informação com o comando:
   # vgdisplay pve
Free PE / Size 1869 / 7.30 GiB

3. Depois, com o comando abaixo, me certifiquei do tamanho da minha LV
   # lvdisplay pve-root

Free PE / Size 1869 / 7.30 GiB

4. Depois redimensionei minha LV em mais 7Gigas
   lvextend -r -L +7G /dev/pve/root

5. Confirmei que ela havia sido redimensionada com o comando abaixo:
   lvdisplay /dev/pve/root

6. E para garantir, verifiquei com o comando abaixo:
   lvdisplay /dev/pve/root

Me inspirei no poste abaixo para essa solução, espero que ajude!

To recreate pve data using 100GB of space: lvcreate -L 100GB -n data pve

You can find how much space is free with vgdisplay (under "FREE PE / Size")

Note that you might need to decrease the size by a tiny bit from what is listed there, due to rounding. For example, on my server, vgdisplay showed 267.79 GB free, but I had to use 267.78 GB for lvcreate.

I found this document that helped me loads.
The main problem was that LV data took up all the space.
