Resizing `root.img` Size Resize Root Disk Image
-------------------------- ----------------------
The safest way to increase the size of `root.img` is to do it for a standalone The safest way to increase the size of `root.img` is to turn your TemplateVM into a StandaloneVM. Doing this means it will have it's own root filesystem *(StandaloneVMs use a copy of template, instead of smart sharing)*. To do this run `qvm-create --standalone` from `dom0` Konsole.
VM (qvm-create --standalone) - which has its own root filesystem
(copy of template, instead of smart sharing).
But it should also work for a normal template (as long as changes in the
template between reboots didn't exceed 10G).
Replace the size and the path (name) of the template as wished and run your ### Resize a StandaloneVM Root Image
modified command:
``` In `dom0` Konsole run the following command (replace the size and path):
truncate -s 20G /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/fedora-21/root.img
```
Then start your template or standalone VM and run: ~~~
truncate -s 20G /var/lib/qubes/appvms/standalonevm/root.img
~~~
``` Then start Terminal for this StandaloneVM and run:
~~~
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/dmroot sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/dmroot
``` ~~~
after that shutdown the template. Shutdown the StandaloneVM and you will have extended the size of it's `root.img`
Then you should have extended `root.img` in your VM/template
### Resize a TemplateVM Root Image
In `dom0` Konsole run the following command (replace the size and path):*Make sure changes in the TemplateVM between reboots didn't exceed 10G.*
~~~
truncate -s 20G /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/fedora-21/root.img
~~~
Then start Terminal for this TemplateVM and run the following:
~~~
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/dmroot

Shutdown the TemplateVM and you will have extended the size of it's `root.img`
