Nothing like advance notice. :/ Following the procedure here... https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/fedora/in-place-upgrade/ It kind of works, but there is an issue. Trying to attach the cache space image gets the error that it is not "exposed" so I had to work around it. Perhaps due to the fact that I don't use LVM on my machine...and the install put the bulk of the available storage in /var/lib/qubes, which is NOT exposed. I don't wish to add the additional layer of LVM complication to an already encrypted system. I have a 700gb image I used to contain a 600gb image where I collect files for archive purposes. I mount the 700gb image in dom0 at a mount point in /mnt, and create the cache image in that space to attach to which ever Qube I desire. After doing the losetup, I use the device menu to attach it to the Qube. This works. Since I have modified the fedora-36 template to add claws-mail, gimp and dosbox-x (I use an old editor that requires it to be usable), it is best to upgrade in place after clone. I have two fedora-36 templates...one with no modifications and one with the aforementioned software additions. The unmodified one is used by sys-net, sys-firewall and such.
