Resizing 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.

Private disk image

The private disk image of a AppVM can be grown with qubes-grow-private:

qvm-grow-private <vm-name> <size>

HVM disk image

A disk image for a HVM for can be grown using following command:

truncate -s <size> root.img

The root.img is found in /var/lib/qubes/appvm/hvmname.

Be aware, that the HVM should be stopped during this operation. The partition table and file-system must be adjusted after this change.
