Fedora-41-xfce volume resize issue

User Support

I downloaded the new fedora-41-xfce template and cloned it for installing all my software, only I need more space in which to install things. When I extend the root volume using Qube Manager or qvm-volume extend/resize the new template no longer runs and qubes simply times out trying to connecting to it. The clone itself works, but not the extended version of it. The only difference between the working template and the cloned non-working template is the volume extend operation and it doesn’t seem to matter how much I try to extend it. Extending it seems to break it, and since it doesn’t start I can’t really look at what is or isn’t running in it.

According to my disk usage I am only at 20.7 % of my total available SSD disk space so I am not sure what is going on here. I wanted to migrate everything to fc41 now that it is available but I am now stuck on fc40 until I get this resolved.

Any clue to what to look at?

Expanding is slow in some cases.
One option is to increase the qrexec timeout to let the qube resize the disk.

Try something like this in dom0:

qvm-prefs <qubename> qrexec_timeout 300

Then start the qube.

To see what’s going on, you can run a dispvm from the qube manager (terminal icon at the top) or with qvm-console-dispvm in dom0.

This thread might be of some help, though changing qrexec_timeout should solve for the time being and then you can see in the console what the issue is:

That was it. I would have not expected this to happen on a fast computer running on fast SSD drives.

Thanks!
