How can I manage the bare metal: disks, memory, cpu?

[Romaboo]

My system has 6 cores and 64GB ram, and a 2 TB sata and a 4TB nvme. I set it up as luks of course, told it to do everything auto, and it decided that /dev/sda would be the boot.

OK, so using df -h in dom0 I cannot see all my block device partitions: /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 are there but Im missing the /dev/dev3 and also missing /dev/nvme0n1p1. But in fdisk -l I do see them all. How best can we see and manage HD space?

For that matter entire system CPU & memory usage? I really like htop but its not available in dom0, I guess for obvious reasons? But still what best practices have been customized for such an incredibly custom system? I mist say, this Qubes thing is incredibly impressive, hats off to the team!

What is the best way to get the physical CPU load value?

I’m working on a conky config file, and I would like to add the total CPU load percentage. xl doesn’t seem to show the load value for the CPU or cores, I’m currently using xenpm to try and calculate the load, what is the best way to do this?

df -h only shows the mounted filesystems, if your partition is not mounted then you won’t see it there.
If you want to access the files on your disks then it’s better to attach them to some (disposable) qube and do it there instead of doing it in dom0 for security reasons.
