Hey I want to store VM data remotely. My plan is to have remote private.img. I started with an attempt to attach a remote file mounted with sshfs to another VM:
server$ dd if=/dev/zero of=image seek=1000 bs=1M count=0 vm1$ sshfs -o allow_root server: /tmp/server dom0$ qvm-block -A vm2 vm1:/tmp/server/image I expected to see /dev/xvdi in vm2 which I can use to make a partition table, filesystems and mount locally. I did this successfully with local (non-FUSE) files from vm1. But there is no /dev/xvdi in vm2 this time. However Qubes VM Manager displays a drive icon in vm2 status. Also I tried to loop mount the file locally in vm1 and mount the loop device to vm2: vm1$ sudo losetup -f --show /tmp/server/image /dev/loop2 dom0$ qvm-block -A vm2 vm1:/dev/loop2 Also no success. Does `qvm-block -A` support files coming from FUSE? What pitfalls can I face going this way? -- Best regards, Boris Nagaev -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
