@awokd Thank you very much for responding — I do appreciate the effort. Here is my attempt to find the log file(s). I am booted in another distribution (Linux Mint 19.1 64-bit Cinnamon): I used "sudo" to become root and then: root@JRGsHPSpectre:/dev/qubes_dom0# lvmdiskscan /dev/qubes_dom0/swap [ 7.48 GiB] /dev/sda1 [ 200.00 MiB] /dev/sda2 [ <27.95 GiB] /dev/sda3 [ 428.30 GiB] /dev/sda4 [ 9.31 GiB] /dev/sdb1 [ 500.00 MiB] /dev/sdb2 [ <1.82 TiB] LVM physical volume 1 disk 5 partitions 0 LVM physical volume whole disks 1 LVM physical volume root@JRGsHPSpectre:/dev/qubes_dom0# So there is the Qubes swap partition (7.48 GiB). /dev/sdb2 is the USB disk drive that was the target of the Qubes install. lvdisplay >> ~john/temp/LVM-Info.txt # result below --- Logical volume --- LV Name pool00 VG Name qubes_dom0 LV UUID fWWjqo-5OdP-J5pO-obIu-Is0u-KekI-w5Dj26 LV Write Access read/write LV Creation host, time localhost.localdomain, 2018-12-20 13:49:26 -0330 LV Pool metadata pool00_tmeta LV Pool data pool00_tdata LV Status NOT available LV Size <1.80 TiB Current LE 470795 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto --- Logical volume --- LV Path /dev/qubes_dom0/root LV Name root VG Name qubes_dom0 LV UUID EBmNyt-sCQi-5G4V-EpQQ-GLuJ-SCCY-MnWssJ LV Write Access read/write LV Creation host, time localhost.localdomain, 2018-12-20 13:49:27 -0330 LV Pool name pool00 LV Status NOT available LV Size <1.80 TiB Current LE 470795 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto --- Logical volume --- LV Path /dev/qubes_dom0/swap LV Name swap VG Name qubes_dom0 LV UUID aLPIfF-1EHL-5a1X-ejaj-DNdK-yHk2-TCLZXH LV Write Access read/write LV Creation host, time localhost.localdomain, 2018-12-20 13:49:28 -0330 LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 7.48 GiB Current LE 1915 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:0 This appears to show 3 logical volumes: pool00, root and swap (which appears to be mounted).
