Why that high? Have you disabled dynamic memory management for this VM? Otherwise it needs to be only that high to allow booting the VM, until dynamic memory management kicks in. - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Maybe try > increasing the size of your DVM template? Storing savefile in /dev/shm (tmpfs - stored in RAM only) is an optimization to load it faster. Normally this file takes about 300-400MB, so should be well below 2GB limit... It's size depends on memory amount used in DispVM. First I'd check what other files you have there and in /tmp - maybe some old unused stuff. But if it still does not fit, you can disable this optimization by: touch /var/lib/qubes/dvmdata/dont-use-shm - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

[qubes-users] qvm-create-default-dvm running out of space
Hi, when trying to recreate the dvm after the latest torbrowser update I get: qvm-create-default-dvm whonix-ws [...] DVM savefile created successfully. cp: error writing '/dev/shm/qubes/current-savefile': No space left on device And DVM starting fails after that obviously. Do I have to resize /tmp to work around that problem? (2GB by default) thanks, Joonas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
