What is PV?

sudo lvs does not show the deleted LV/VMs. UI disk usage (top right corner) shows empty disk as well (the space got released).

I deleted the LVs using the command you adviced (sudo lvremove /dev/qubes_dom0/vm-whonix-gw-15-root.tick etc).

I removed one more large VM, now the UI says 34.4% disk usage, but vgdisplay still says 0 Free PE, so something else is going on.

I removed a couple of other VMs but the Free PE is still 0.

In the Qubes UI (top right corner), clicking the disk icon, it shows 46.8% disk usage (it was over 50% before I removed these VMs).

I think I actually need this. One large VM (~30GB) doesn't boot (can't start terminal or anything), but before I delete it, I want to backup some stuff, so it would be great if I could mount that volume from dom0 manually, right?

$ sudo mount /dev/qubes_dom0/vm-crowphale-private-snap crow-mount
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/qubes_dom0-vm--crowphale--private--snap,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.

Any pointers how to do this?

I used sudo lvremove to delete 6 logical volumes (from already deleted VMs), but sudo vgdisplay still says 0 Free PE. Any more ideas? I'm gonna backup my data and delete more VMs in the meantime...

Thank you. I will give this try next time.

Also, Is there any documentation explaining how this stuff works?

How do I free a logical volume up?

5 sats \ 15 replies \ @crowphale OP 27 Nov 2022 \ parent \ on: Bounty: resolving Qubes OS issue (inssuficient free space) bitcoin

Interesting. That seems lame that deleting VM doesn't free up the logical space.

lvdisplay shows many logical volumes, for instance, this one is associated with already deleted VM:

As described in Qubes forum post (https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/insufficient-free-space-when-upgrading-to-qubes-4-1/13995) I tried to remove two vms, but it didn't help.

How can I shrink one of my logical volumes?
