[qubes-users] Disk space not being returned back to the pool

Mailing Lists qubes-users

FWIW I managed to solve this by booting from a Fedora USB, and running “lvconvert --repair” on the pool. So roughly this:

  1. boot into Fedora Workstation USB (or any other Live USB you want

  2. open the LUKS device

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/… crypted

  1. run lvscan to detect all the LVM volumes etc.

lvscan
lvs

  1. deactivate everything in /dev/qubes_dom0:

cd /dev/qubes_dom0

for f in *; do lvchange -an qubes_dom0/$f; done

  1. repair the pool

lvconvert --repair qubes_dom0/pool00

  1. reboot into Qubes

Not sure why/how it got broken, but this returned all the missing space to the pool and everything seems to be working fine.
