Sorry I guess I wasn't very clear from the command since I only going to run a single VM on the pool I thought naming it the same The following command didn't work as well - qvm-clone -P storage extra extra-clone
You can see from the error message that lvcreate complains the command is called with both volum groups (the original where extra vm sits on (qubes_root0) and the one where the new vm should be created on (qubes_-storage0) I tried running it in verbose mode to get the actual command that is being called but it is never being logged. As a workaround I used qvm-perf to change the default pool to storage and than restored the VM from backup. I guess this is a bug in qvm-clone so I'll open a github issue On Sun, Apr 1, 2018 at 3:21 AM, awokd <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, April 1, 2018 4:46 am, [email protected] wrote: > > I'm trying to clone an existing VM to a pool on a secondary drive. > > > > > > I followed the instructions on > > https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/secondary-storage/ > > This line? > qvm-clone -P pool_name old_name new_name > > > But when I run the `qvm-clone` I get the following error - > > $ qvm-clone -v -P storage extra storage > > > raise exc_class(format_string, *args) qubesadmin.exc. > StoragePoolException: > > b' Please use a single volume group name ("qubes_root0" or > > "qubes_-storage0").\n Run `lvcreate --help\' for more information.\n' > > > > > > > > Running `qvm-create` on the secondary pool seem to work with no issues > > You're right, the documentation isn't very clear there on what those old > and new names are for.
