✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

Debian 12 VM

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/vm/debian-vm.sh)"

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

I'm creating a debian VM using the script and it creates the disk with on 2G drive. I'm finding while trying to patch it, it doesn't have sufficient space to recreate the initrd.img-6.1.0-21-amd64.
I downloaded the script and tried editing line 410 to set the drive size to 6G, but that doesn't affect the initial disk size. But issue is seen running direct from repo

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Run the vm script. Login to the shell. Run apt uppdate and apt upgrade. apt update fails with this issue and drive is now 97%

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

You can either run the script in advanced mode and set a higher disk capacity there (you my leace the rest untouched if you want all other things to stay like the deafult settings), or you can after the installation resize the LXC disk in the Pproxmox UI. Look at something like this tutorial.

Advanced mode doesn't offer the option to increase the disk size.
I tried resizing the disk using the proxmox gui. It works fine but the VM does not see the new disk size. Also there is not enough space in the VM to add resize2fs or growpart used to resize the disk in the vm.

I was able to workaround this. I built the vm, and used the gui to resize it to 4GiB. I ran apt update but not the upgrade then installed cloud-guest-utils in order to get growpart. Then I ran
growpart /dev/sda 1 and
resize2fs /dev/sda1
This grew the partition and resixed the filesystem.

IMO, the script should be changed to make the VM disk size 4G by default. The 2GB size is not usable.
