How much of the Earth's water is stored in glaciers?
About 2.1% of all of Earth's water is frozen in glaciers.

97.2% is in the oceans and inland seas
2.1% is in glaciers
0.6% is in groundwater and soil moisture
less than 1% is in the atmosphere
less than 1% is in lakes and rivers
less than 1% is in all living plants and animals.
About three-quarters of Earth's freshwater is stored in glaciers. Therefore, glacier ice is the second largest reservoir of water on Earth and the largest reservoir of freshwater on Earth!

2% seems to be not a big quantity, but in the scope of the planet the volume is huge. By the way, did you know that glacier water is available for buying and is very useful as a drink? Just take a look at these glacier water reviews and make your own conclusions.

I do not think that 2% is very much, especially considering the current environmental situation

It makes you wonder how glacier melting makes the sea rise if it is only 2% of the water
