Ugh. Word-wrap screwed up the commands. Let me try again:
In dom0:
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-24 fedora-25
[user@dom0 ~]$ truncate -s 5GB /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-25 gnome-terminal
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-block -A fedora-25
dom0:/var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img (all one line)
Then open a terminal on the fedora-25 template and run:
[user@fedora-25 ~]$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdi
[user@fedora-25 ~]$ sudo mount /dev/xvdi /mnt/removable
[user@fedora-25 ~]$ sudo dnf clean all
[user@fedora-25 ~]$ sudo dnf --releasever=25
--setopt=cachedir=/mnt/removable distro-sync (all one line)
Shut down TemplateVM by any normal means. Then in dom0:
[user@dom0 ~]$ rm /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-trim-template fedora-25
