I wanted to back up one qubeVM before updating to 4.3 and with 2TB of free space I thought it was safe to.
However this caused the data partition to be 99% full and no qubes could start because there was not enough storage.
I tried opening up the terminal in dom0 to delete back ups but it would not succeed due to there being not enough storage.
I then attempted the steps prompted in the documentation.
But running sudo dnf clean all to open up but it returned with a sql related error I did not have the foresight to write down.
To make matters worse, I shutdown my PC against better instincts and of course, it will not boot.
Booting shows several qubes failures like sys-net and sys-usb but more critically, dom0 (I assume at least)
“FAILED] Failed to start xen-init-dom0.service - xen-init-dom0, initialize Dom0 configuration (xenstore nodes, JSON configuration stub)
See ‘systemctl status xen-init-dom0.service’ for details”
What should I do now?
There would be minimal data loss in fresh install of 4.3 but I feel determined to try and solve the issue first as then I know what to do next time.
Many thanks!
