Proxmox 9 iso location on btrfs

  

After a default installation of Proxmox 9 with BTRFS, the ISO files are stored in the

/var/lib/pve/local-btrfs/template/iso directory. This location is automatically configured by the installer to explicitly use a BTRFS subvolume for storage. 

How Proxmox structures storage on BTRFS

• The Proxmox installer automatically creates a subvolume at /var/lib/pve/local-btrfs.
• It also modifies the storage configuration file, /etc/pve/storage.cfg, to define a local-btrfs storage entry.
• This new local-btrfs storage is configured to handle ISOs, VM templates, backups, and disk images.

What to do if you can't see the ISOs

If you have copied ISOs to the server but can't see them in the Proxmox web interface, you may have put them in the wrong place. The easiest way to manage ISOs is through the web interface itself, but if you want to use the command line, follow these steps:

1. Log into the Proxmox server via SSH or the console.
2. Move your ISO files to the correct directory:
   sh

   mv /path/to/your/iso.iso /var/lib/pve/local-btrfs/template/iso/
   

   Use code with caution.

If you're not seeing the storage after a custom installation, it's possible the BTRFS storage wasn't automatically configured. In that case, you can manually add it by editing /etc/pve/storage.cfg. 

If you're having trouble with your current BTRFS storage setup, I can help you manually configure it or troubleshoot why your ISOs aren't appearing. Would you like me to guide you through checking your storage.cfg file?

Check the Proxmox web interface under Datacenter > your-node > local-btrfs > ISO Images. Your files should now be visible there.
