I want more control over my Pi 4 that I am setting up as an NFS NAS box. I have external SSDs and a USB 3 NVME SSD that I am using for storage and I want to set up one big LV for the exported file system...
I can do this during setup from an iso on x86 builds but this arm stuff is a bit of black magic to me...
How would I go about setting this up so that I can limit the actual OS to say 100GB of the first drive, set up as the first PV and then attach the 2nd and 3rd drives (The USB 3 SSDs) as additional PVs, add them all to a VG, and slice out my LVs from there...
I want to not choke the host OS too badly, but I also want to maximize how much storage is available to share out via NFS for the K3S cluster...
My other option is to dust off one of the retired Athlon 64 X2 boxes, I have an eSATA port multiplier / box, I can dredge up 8 1TB spinning disks to fill it and share out... I would rather not be running more X86 than absolutely necessary from a power consumption standpoint...
