I don't know if it's too late to save you some effort, but in fact it really doesn't matter - all you have done is reserved space for that 500GB - if you don't use it then the disk file will remain small. You can see this by looking at the files in dom0: look in /var/lib/qubes/appvms ls -lsSh will show you the true size of the files - you'll see that there's a considerable difference, so you can safely leave your 500GB file as is.(Unless you think that you might just keep writing to it until you fill the 120GB without realising, in which case you should protect yourself from foolishness by acting now.) unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
