Unable to find root.img to enlarge VmApp

[digital-nomad17]

Qubes OS version:

Qubes 4.0r2

Affected TemplateVMs:

Fedora-25

---

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run out of space in AppVm.

Expected behavior:

Expecting the root.img to be in '/var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/fedora-25-dev/' according to the docs[1].

[1]https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/resize-root-disk-image/

Actual behavior:

'root.img' is not found in the expected directory. Unable to expand template size to install additional software.

General notes:

The docs might be out of date and it's located in another folder.

A side note:It would be a great idea to implement a disk manager to manage the many AppVm/Templates as it can be very tedious to manage everything through the cli.

You can create the size of the root filesystem in VM Settings dialog of the template. It works and increases the partition.

Nevertheless I agree with you that the docs seems to be out of sync. I think the former root.img is now a logical volume in LVM but haven't investigated further.

sudo lvm lvs in dom0 gives you a list of all volumes.
