Basically I took the figure in "system storage max size" as the max value that 
I could choose for the "private storage...". The situation would be a no-go 
criteria for me to use Qubes. Thanks to you guys (yourself, jsnow, Eivind and 
Holger) I increased the private size to what I need and since it seems working 
fine. As you mention in this post I could even go up to TB for a singular VM 
(provided HD is available).

I'm sincerely astonished by the speed and quality of the feedbacks in this 
forum. Happy to be here!

Hi,

The system storage size is based on the template, which generally
doesn't need to be changed. The private storage size is how much space
is available in the vm's home folder, and it can be increased higher
than the system storage size. You can increase it up to 1048576 MB in
qubes manager, and even higher in dom0 terminal (i have a vm with ~2TB
data).

Hi there,

I'm new to the Qubes world and am using Qubes 3.2.
In my daily work I need to work with huge amount of data, 50GB or even higher. 
I dedicate more than 700GB to Qubes OS, which I installed in a dualboot with my 
old Ubuntu (which has got less then 200GB). But I can't create a VM where I can 
import my data to. Even my emails can't fit into a VM dedicated to emails.

In the VM settings the maximum size does not go far enough.

It works fine for the less demanding areas.

Any idea about how I can work those set of data in Qubes 3.2?

Thanks in advance



Hi, Reza.

I am running Qubes 3.2 as well, and I'm running domains that have maximum
size > 50GB (my email-domain, for instance, has 64GB for private storage).

Where are you changing your settings?

Hi Eivind,
That's what I do to change the size:
1) I stop the VM
2) I select it in the VM Manager (in DOM0)
3) I click on "settings" icon (the wheel)and I increase the "private storage max 
size" from 2048 to its max value 10240 (written right below as 'system storage max size').



Reza,

You can increase the private storage size without stopping the VM. Are you 
positive you are changing "private storage" and not "system storage"?

you want to increase the private storage size, not the system storage
size.

1) I stop the VM
2) I select it in the VM Manager (in DOM0)
3) I click on "settings" icon (the wheel)and I increase the "private storage 
max size" from 2048 to its max value 10240 (written right below as 'system
