Hey!
the last question for today! :D
qubes is really great, but i want to understand some things, that are
new for me.
i don't understand the storage occupancy in Qubes OS.
I can give the home-folder more space, but where can i understand how
much space i have already used? where can i see the whole storage usage?
and how can i add new SSD to the special VM (for example "work")?
thanks for help!
When you expand an appVM's storage, you're really changing the maximum
limit. The space isn't allocated from dom0 storage until its used (and
deletions will cause the space to be returned to dom0).
Normal space reporting tools for Linux will show you the overall space and
usage in dom0. For instance, I use the KDE disk space widget on my desktop.
You can attach additional storage to a VM by right-clicking on it in Qubes
Manager and using the attach/detach menu. Or you can use 'qvm-block' command
in dom0. Unfortunately, Qubes doesn't have a way to permanently attach
additional volumes to template-based VMs, so this always has to be done
manually or via a udev script, etc.
This isn't true - it's pretty straightforward to add volumes at boot, and
it can be done automatically.
The gist of my statement is there's no simple, permanent setting for
additional volumes. Your example still requires either a script or
issuing a command manually.
Its probably more manageable to simply issue 'qvm-start && qvm-attach &&
qvm-run "mount"' than to have an unmanaged .conf file laying around
(these are supposed to be generated at VM startup, and user may forget
the alternate conf won't respond to normal settings changes).
