Root image file parameter to qvm-create limited to free space in /tmp (2GiB) #3422
Comments
The file is not piped to /tmp, but to the target location (LVM volume in default installation). The problem is somewhere else - it does not check its size and by default root volume have 10G. It should resize it first to the size of source file. |

Or update dom0 via Qubes Manager. |
Qubes OS version:
4.0RC3
Affected TemplateVMs:
dom0
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
in dom0:
Expected behavior:
New VM created using given root image file (in my example, 40GiB raw image).
Actual behavior:
qvm-create pipes root image file to a temp file in /tmp and therefore runs out of space on /tmp if root.img > 2GiB.
Same behaviour regardless for --root-copy-from and --root-move-from
General notes:
The root.img I am using was converted vdi -> raw using qemu-img -O raw.
Given the semantics implied by both --root-copy-from and --root-move-from it does not appear necessary to write any file to /tmp.
