Hello,
I need to increase the default value of 20GB to 50GB.
Unfortunately, the interface Qubes does not allow this, changing 20GB is blocked.
I did not find a solution to this problem in the documentation.
How to do this?

This blocked 20GB size is for system files. Increase private size. If you want to install program that is bigger and must have more space in system space then… increase system size in template.

That’s exactly what I’m trying to do, but I’m not sure how to do it.
Is there a description of the necessary steps in the documentation Qubes?
Open the settings of the template of your qube, and increase the size of the “system storage max size” of that template.
Thank you, I did it
But if use the df -h command, the actual volume remains the same 20 GB.
Then I did a full reboot of Qubes, and only after that the volume increased to ~50 GB.
But unfortunately, after that, some of the applications and settings installed in qube, destroyed.
Is this how it should be?
Yes, this is how the use of AppVMs and templates work.
You install stuff in your template, they are actually templates for AppVMs where they inheritate all stuff from the template except /usr/local and /home (which are under /rw in reality).
If you make change in an appvm outside these directories, it’s wiped on reboot using the freshly copied template.
