Proxmox PVE install boot options

I prefer to set my initial root partition size to be smaller than the default Proxmox setting.

Here are some example usage and list of other setup boot options:

Examples:

linux ext4 hdsize=8

linux ext4 hdsize=10

linux ext4 hdsize=12

• linux ext4 – sets the partition format to ext4. The default is ext3.
  
• hdsize=nGB – this sets the total amount of hard disk to use for the Proxmox installation. This should be smaller than your disk size.
  
• maxroot=nGB – sets the maximum size to use for the root partition. This is the max size so if the disk is too small, the partition may be smaller than this.
  
• swapsize=nGB – sets the swap partition size in gigabytes.
  
• maxvz-nGB – sets the maximum size in gigabytes that the data partition will be. Again, this is similar to maxroot and the final partition size may be smaller.
  
• minfree=nGB – sets the amount of free space to remain on the disk after the Proxmox installation.
