Ser5 SSD Capacity

Hi


I have purchased a Ser5 5600H 32Gb with 500Gb SSD.   I have relaoded this unit with Proxmox to use as a small home Data Centre. However, as soon as I get to 64Gb on the SSD the system fails to install any further software.  While the SSD is reported as 500Gb, it behaves as if it was a 64Gb SSD.  Has anyone else had a similar problem?

System partition and storage partition are separate，First time users are advised to delete the lvm partition

I've done more work on this and found the answer.   The Ser5 was not the problem at all.  The issue was due to Proxmox defaulting (for some reason) to "Virtio SCSI Single" for the disk type when creating a VM When I changed this to Virtio SCSI  (and removed the check from IOThreads which also had been checked) the problem went away - I can now properly load the VMs within Proxmox with no SSD issues at all.  I do note that system and storage partition should be separate (thanks lyc!) but as a single SSD test unit this suits me fine to have them colocated and Proxmox seems to be fine with it for me.
