Restoring Virtual Machines
Thank you Squid! This suggestion worked for me as well. I was having trouble starting a Ubuntu VM for the first time, the desktop version with GUI, so that I had to provide my graphics adapter to the VM. My VIRTIOISO path setting turned out to be /mnt/user/system/libvirt/. Bingo, the Ubuntu installation fired right up, I completed the installation process to the virtual drive, and I can run the Ubuntu desktop just like it's on bare metal. You're the best!

How to enlarge a VM disk
Thanks Jonathan, I hadn't thought of that solution. Sounds like it should work. I'll try it in the next couple of days and report back.

How to enlarge a VM disk
I've created a VM in Unraid to run HA OS. I used one of the image files from the HA github (haos_generic-x86-64-10.5.img). This file is about 6 GB in size. After getting that working, I added another virtual disk via the VM control/setup panel in Unraid; this made another mounted disk available within HA, for another 10 GB. My thought was to direct HA to save data on that second disk. Then I wanted to enlarge the original virtual disk that HAOS starts within, so I enlarged its image file by another 10GB using the following command within the Unraid console, while the VM was stopped: sudo qemu-img resize <path to image file> +10G This succeeded in making the file that much larger, but I don't think HA is seeing the increase in its disk size. I'm thinking that something needs to be done to its partition to actually make use of the increased bytes. I'm assuming that whatever needs to be done, must be done from within the HA OS itself, while the VM is running. But that's where I'm stuck; what tools are available within HA OS to do this sort of partition editing?? Or am I missing the boat here? Is there an easier way to get this done?
