There's a section in the docs on this:
www.qubes-os.org/doc/secondary-storage

Did you read that?

There's no need to configure a new storage pool.

[qubes-users] Moving less used templates to secondary storage

2017-02-09 Thread Pablo Di Noto
Hello,

Running 3.2 with XFCE.

My notebook has a small SSD with Qubes boot and root/swap on it, and a larger 
(and slower) SHDD mounted as /var/lib/qubes-add and configured as an additional 
Xen pool.

I am running out of space (and at the same time, losing speed drastically) on 
the SSD, and half of the space is used by fedora-23, debian-8, debian-9 and 
whonix-* templates.

I decided to move the debian-8 and whonix-* templates to the additional pool, 
but cannot make the move be recognized by Qubes (all command line utilities 
obviously cannot find the templates).

Question 1: Is this use-case --having templates on a secondary storage pool-- 
supported?
Question 2: Which is the proper way to move the least used templates? I guess 
qvm-prefs need to reflect the move somehow, but have not been able to deduce 
myself.

Willing to write up docs after done :-)

Cheers,
///Pablo
