I recently wanted to increase the size of my anon-whonix qube and made the mistake of also increasing the “system storage max size” of my whonix-ws template.
I think this actually reduced the overall memory available on my computer, (I guess the system storage doesn’t use thin volumes) and I’m wondering if there’s a way to reduce the system storage max size of my whonix-ws without corrupting my anon-whonix qube, or the used memory in my whonix-ws.
From the “resize disk image” page on the qubes website, it says “there are risks attached to reducing the size of an image”, I assume you might delete the blocks of memory that are actually in use.
I know now, that I should have only increased the “private storage max size” of my anon-whonix qube and I should have left the whonix-ws system storage max size alone.
Could anyone tell me a safe way to reduce my system storage max size on whonix-ws?
