I’m dangerously close to running out of space for my VMs on local-lvm, but noticed I have a lot of free space in my local storage where I only have a dozen ISOs stored.
Can anybody help me figure out how I’d go about shrinking the local storage so I can extend my local-lvm?
You suggested just adding the ISOs to local-lvm. Do you think it would be feasible to simply delete the local storage completely and then extend the local-lvm after, storing the ISOs there? I know extending volumes is much simpler than shrinking. And I imagine deleting completely is also easier than shrinking?

It’s really that much of a hassle to fiddle with the volume sizes?
Its definitely more of a hassle than adding another storage pool or creating a directory in local-lvm.

From the comment:
I do not suggest doing this. Just add another disk.
