When using LVM it needs an empty VG and it´s best to have a separate HDD, at least a complete partition. When using this VG as storage, Virtualizor eats up and controls the complete storage available for the vm. While possible, it is not advised to store any other LV (manually created for example) in this VG. just create the VG on the /home partition and give Virtualizor the name of the VG,

It´s not a mountpoint.You need the complete partition and create a PV (physical volume ) with it: Code pvcreate /dev/md2 Then create the VG with this PV (you can add more PV later if you need to expand) Code vgcreate vgStorage /dev/md2 (Replace vgStorage with your desired name for the VG if you like) You can check with the following commands: pvdisplay (gives information about your PV and the created VG inside) vgdisplay (gives information about your VG´s) In this example vgStorage is the name to enter in Virtualizor add storage page.
