Resize Private Disk Image

There are several disk images which can be easily extended. But pay attention to the overall consumed space of your sparse disk images.

### Shrinking private disk image (Linux VM, R4.0)

|

**This operation is dangerous and this is why it isn't available in standard Qubes tools. If you have enough disk space, it is safer to create new VM with smaller disk and move the data.**
|
||||
1. Create a new qube with smaller disk using Qube Manager or `qvm-create`
|
||||
2. Move data to the new qube using `qvm-copy` or OS utilities
|

3. Delete old qube using Qube Manager or `qvm-remove`

1. Shrink filesystem on the private disk image.
|

2. Then shrink the image.
|

|

Ext4 does not support online shrinking, so can't be done as convenient as image grown. Note that we don't want to touch the VM filesystem directly in dom0 for security reasons. First you need to start VM without `/rw` mounted. One of the possibility is to interrupt its normal startup by adding `rd.break` kernel option:

### Template disk image
|
||||
OS Specific Follow-up Instructions
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you want install a lot of software in your TemplateVM, you may need to increase the amount of disk space your TemplateVM can use. See also additional information and caveats about [resizing the root disk image].
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make sure that all the VMs based on this template are shut off (including netvms etc).
|
||||
2. Sanity check: verify that none of loop device are pointing at this template root.img. Run this in dom0: `sudo losetup -a`
|
||||
3. Resize root.img file. Run this in dom0: `truncate -s <desired size> <path to root.img>` (the root.img path can be obtained from qvm-prefs).
|
||||
4. If any netvm/proxyvm used by this template is based on it, set template netvm to none.
|
||||
5. Start the template.
|
||||
6. Execute `sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/dmroot` in the template.
|
||||
7. Verify available space in the template using `df -h`
|
||||
8. Shutdown the template.
|
||||
9. Restore original netvm setting (if changed), check firewall settings (setting netvm to none causes firewall reset to "block all")
|
||||
|
||||
### HVM disk image
|
||||
|
||||
In this example we will grow the disk image of an HVM to 30GB.
|
||||
|
||||
First, stop/shutdown the HVM.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, from a Dom0 terminal (in KDE: System Tools -\> Terminal Emulator) do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
cd /var/lib/qubes/appvms/<yourHVM>/
|
||||
ls -lh root.img (<--verify current size of disk image)
|
||||
truncate -s 30GB root.img
|
||||
ls -lh root.img (<--verify new size of disk image)
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The partition table and file-system must be adjusted after this change.
|
||||
Use tools appropriate to the OS in your HVM. Brief instructions for Windows 7,
|
||||
FreeBSD, and Linux are provided below.

Qubes will automatically grow the filesystem for you on AppVMs but not HVMs.
|
||||
You will see that there is unallocated free space at the end of your primary disk.
|
||||
You can use standard linux tools like fdisk and mkfs to make this space available.

Resize Root Disk Image
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
See additional information and caveats about [resizing private disk images](/doc/resize-disk-image/), paying particular attention to "OS Specific Follow-up Instructions" at the end.
|
||||
|
||||
### Resize a StandaloneVM Root Image
|
||||
### Template disk image
|
||||
|
||||
In `dom0` Konsole run the following command (replace the size and path):
|
||||
If you want install a lot of software in your TemplateVM, you may need to increase the amount of disk space your TemplateVM can use.
|
||||
*Make sure changes in the TemplateVM between reboots don't exceed 10G.*
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make sure that all the VMs based on this template are shut off (including netvms etc).
|
||||
2. Resize root image using Qubes version specific procedure below.
|
||||
3. If any netvm/proxyvm used by this template is based on it, set template's netvm to none.
|
||||
4. Start the template.
|
||||
5. Resize the filesystem using OS appropriate tools (Qubes will handle this automatically with Linux templates).
|
||||
6. Verify available space in the template using `df -h` or OS specific tools.
|
||||
7. Shutdown the template.
|
||||
8. Restore original netvm setting (if changed), check firewall settings (setting netvm to none causes the firewall to reset to "block all")
|
||||
|
||||
### Root disk image (R4.0)
|
||||
|
||||
1048576 MiB is the maximum size which can be assigned to root storage through Qube Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
To grow the root disk image of an AppVM beyond this limit, `qvm-volume` can be used:
|
||||
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
qvm-volume extend <vm_name>:root <size>
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Size is the target size (i.e. 4096MB or 16GB, ...), not the size to add to the existing disk.
|
||||
|
||||
### Root disk image (R3.2)
|
||||
|
||||
1048576 MB is the maximum size which can be assigned to root storage through Qubes Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
To grow the root disk image of an AppVM beyond this limit, `qvm-grow-root` can be used:
|
||||
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
qvm-grow-root <vm-name> <size>
|
||||
~~~

||||
|
||||
Note: Size is the target size (i.e. 4096MB or 16GB, ...), not the size to add to the existing disk.

### Resize a StandaloneVM Root Image (R3.2)

||||

|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Resize a TemplateVM Root Image
|
||||
|
||||
Shut down the TemplateVM, as well as all VMs based on that template (since they
|
||||
share `root.img`).
|
||||
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 only the TemplateVM and run the following. Note that if you are
|
||||
resizing the TemplateVM used by, e.g., your NetVM, you may need to disable
|
||||
networking so when the TemplateVM is started, it does not autostart other VMs
|
||||
based on the same `root.img`. Otherwise you will get an error message `Nothing
|
||||
to do!`.
|
||||
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/dmroot
|
||||

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