But it looks like you don’t have enough space in dom0. Try importing directly into the VM pool:

Importing a large (> dom0 disk size) standalone VM

It’s possible with a named pipe (FIFO). You have to do the volume import separately after VM creation, because qvm-create cannot automatically detect the correct volume size in this case so it has to be passed manually - which is only implemented for qvm-volume import. Continuing after the qemu-img convert step: [user@dom0 ~]$ mkfifo /tmp/fifo [user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run --pass-io untrusted 'cat "/media/user/externalhd/win10.raw"' > /tmp/fifo While this^ is still running, open another terminal and…
