Would appreciate if someone could check that I'm not doing something stupid...
(Don't see any docs regarding this.)
Use case: I want to store my Documents on a separate .img (on same Qubes SSD)
so that only config files remain on my appVM. This should ease the upgrade
process when I want to start with fresh appVMs and reduce chances of user error
/ corruption of frequently moving large existing files.
Steps:
1. create sparse file in dom0:
`dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/lib/qubes/storage/myfiles.img bs=1024k seek=10000
count=0`
2. create filesystem on sparse file:
`mkfs -t ext4 myfiles.img`
3. add file as disk device to /var/lib/qubes/appvms/myappvm.conf:
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='phy' />
<source dev='/var/lib/qubes/storage/myfiles.img' />
<target dev='xvde' bus='xen' />
</disk>
4. add /dev/xvde to /etc/fstab in appVM:
/dev/xvde /home/user/storage ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0
5. start appVM
Any issues? TIA!
