Fix Proxmox Package Upgrade ISSUES with Easy Storage Boost!

Are you facing package upgrade issues and storage space problems with your fresh Proxmox installation? In this guide, I’ll walk you through the essential steps to resolve these common challenges and optimize your Proxmox setup.

Package Fix

First, let’s address the package-related issues through the browser interface. Execute these commands in sequence:

cd /usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/
cp proxmoxlib.js proxmoxlib.js-bkp
vi proxmoxlib.js +546

After making the necessary changes, restart the proxy service:

systemctl restart pveproxy.service

Storage Space Resolution

Many users encounter a common issue where they can’t utilize their disk space for virtual machines. Here’s how to fix it:

1. First, remove the existing data logical volume:

   lvremove /dev/pve/data

Confirm when prompted.

2. Resize the root volume to utilize all available space:

   lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/pve/root
   resize2fs /dev/mapper/pve-root

3. Configure the local drive to support:

• Virtual machines
• Containers
• Snapshots

Benefits of This Solution

• Maximizes available storage space
• Enables seamless VM and container creation
• Improves system flexibility
• Resolves common storage limitations
