Read-only file system when creating a VM

[alex165]

Hello everyone,

I am running version 6.9.0 RC2 and I am trying to create a new Windows 10 VM. When I click create, I get a message that says “cannot create file ‘/etc/libvirt/qemu/Windows 10 gaming.xml.new’: Read-only file system

 

I am following this guide to create the VM: https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/guide-remote-gaming-on-unraid/4248/8

 

Any help is appreciated. My log file is attached.

Cache device is full.

Thank you for the reply.

 

I saw that and have corrected that, but when trying to create the VM again. I am still getting the same error about the read-only file system. My latest diagnostics are attached.

Reboot or re-start the array.

Did that, created one VM and then went to create another. My thinking is that this issue is related to my upgrade to 6.9?

To fix this, am I looking at rebuilding my install on another usb?

Do you mean it's working now or not? If not please post new diags.

No, it worked to create one VM, but when I tried to create another one, I got the same error message.

I’ll post new diags in a bit.

Your system share exists on cache and disk3, libvirt.img is likely on disk3, move everything to cache since disk3 is out of space.

Thank you for that, is it just as simple as launching Krusader and copying the libvirt folder from disk3 to cache?

 

To free up space on disk 3 and spread the load over my newer disks, do i just copy and paste a large folder from disk 3 to a disk that has more space on it?

 

Thanks

Stop the docker and VM services, click on the system share and set cache to "prefer", run the mover, when done set it back to cache="only", re-start services.

You can do that, but make sure you move data from disk to disk, not disk to share, e.g. move from /mnt/disk3 to /mnt/disk4
