Hi,

I'd like to have some VMs on a secondary disk. I successfully followed
the guidelines from https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/secondary-storage/

Troubles arise when the disk is not available at boot time. I'm working
on some mount/unmount scripts which adds/removes the storage pools. But
it seems that this is not enough: Upon reboot (with the pool from the
secondary disk removed), the qubesd terminates with an exception,
causing the whole Qubes installation not to boot properly.

First, I added some try-catch in qubes/app.py (line 905) so the qubesd
starts even if some VMs cause errors. Perhaps this would be a general
nice behaviour?

After re-adding the pool, all VMs from the secondary disk pointed to the
primary pool. Manually editing the /var/lib/qubes/qubes.xml fixed the
issue, so I now have a working system again.

My question: Is there a procedure to properly handle such a second disk
(unavailable at boot time)?


Stefan.
