Proxmox storage management with real disk usage
NexoVirt shows the storage behind every Proxmox node and guest: capacity and content per node, and for each VM the real used space per drive instead of only its provisioned size. Directory, NFS and SMB/CIFS storages are added from the panel.
What it does
Storage per node, real per-drive usage in guests, directory, NFS and SMB.
-
Real usage per drive
With the QEMU guest agent, each VM shows used and total space per filesystem, Windows drive letters included. Without it, the provisioned size.
-
Storage per node
Capacity, usage and content per node on the node page, for every host in the panel.
-
Directory, NFS and SMB
Add and manage datacenter storages without switching to the Proxmox UI.
-
Extra disks at create
Add disks on any storage in the create wizard: SCSI disks for VMs, mount points for containers.
Why not just use the Proxmox web UI?
Proxmox VE runs the virtualization. NexoVirt adds the layer around it. Storage management, task by task:
| Task | Proxmox web UI | NexoVirt |
|---|---|---|
| How full is a VM disk? | Provisioned size only | Used space per filesystem via the guest agent |
| Second disk for a new VM | Hardware tab after creation | Additional disks step in the wizard |
| Storage on several hosts | One host UI at a time | Each node page, all hosts in one panel |
How to use it
Up and running in 3 steps, all in the panel.
-
Open a node's page to see its storages and content.
-
Add a directory, NFS or SMB storage from the panel.
-
Use it as a target when you create guests or add disks.

Storage management FAQ
Why does Proxmox not show how full a VM disk is?
Proxmox sees a VM disk from the outside, so it reports the provisioned size. The used space lives inside the guest's filesystem, and NexoVirt reads it through the QEMU guest agent.
