Windows Servers Archived onto Linux, suggestions/help pls

Thanks for the info Scott, I appreciate it.
It's the next day now, what I was wondering yesterday was had Proxmox created a RAID set out of the 4 disks in the server? The confusion came about as what Proxmox seemed to be telling me yesterday was it had used 3 disks, which to me looked like a RAID set with the capacity of a single physical disk.So I was wondering if it had created a mirror with a hot spare???
If it hasn't done that, then I'd like to add the extra disks for Proxmox to use so I can learn about Proxmox as I play, this is just a lab server.
This is what is shown under LVM-Thin

That looks like a single drive to me. Can't be sure without seeing the outputs from
zpool status -l -
@siringo During the installation setup you do have an option to use raid by using ZFS but it’s not selected by default. I’ve never used it because I’m using hardware raid.

Yep I can remember looking at that option when installing, but it came up with a message along the lines of "that option is not supported etc" so I just went with the default.

The defaults we're very likely no raid at all and to use a single disk.

No zpools by default.
That would confirm it for sure!

That you went with the default setting, so are only using a single drive.

Oh, great. Thanks travisdh1, we got there in the end. Now I know I can add the extra disks.
