June 8, 20224 yr Not sure if this is the right place to post this.. But I went to start a vm, and noticed that it was missing. I was doing some work on it, and had recently removed and recreated the template. I tried doing that again, and I got a no space left error. I checked a df-h, and I see that /dev/loop2 for /etc/libvirt is 100% full at 1.8megs?? in the libvirt log I see this: 2022-06-08 17:07:32.983+0000: 6964: error : virFileRewrite:537 : cannot write data to file '/etc/libvirt/qemu/Home_S1_PilotWin10.xml.new': No space left on device 2022-06-08 17:07:58.229+0000: 6963: error : virFileRewrite:537 : cannot write data to file '/etc/libvirt/qemu/Home_S1_PilotWin10.xml.new': No space left on device I don't have any errors in the system log about this. Why is that mount so small? And why would it be full? I haven't touched anything. The libvirt folder looks like this: /etc/libvirt# ls -l total 149 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 450 Feb 23 2017 libvirt-admin.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 518 Sep 27 2014 libvirt.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13800 Sep 27 2014 libvirtd.conf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Feb 23 2017 nwfilter/ drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 1024 Jun 8 10:07 qemu/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2169 Sep 27 2014 qemu-lockd.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18355 Sep 27 2014 qemu.conf drwx------ 2 root root 1024 Mar 5 2018 secrets/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Sep 27 2014 storage/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1883 Feb 23 2017 virt-login-shell.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11687 Dec 11 2019 virtinterfaced.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2134 Sep 27 2014 virtlockd.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1997 Feb 23 2017 virtlogd.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11677 Dec 11 2019 virtnetworkd.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11677 Dec 11 2019 virtnodedevd.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11682 Dec 11 2019 virtnwfilterd.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16709 Dec 11 2019 virtproxyd.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11662 Dec 11 2019 virtqemud.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11672 Dec 11 2019 virtsecretd.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11677 Dec 11 2019 virtstoraged.conf what gives??
June 8, 20224 yr Author Well I still am not sure what happened, or if this has been a thing all along. I tried to delete and create a new libvirt.img file, and recreate the vm's. But after a reboot, the original is back and full. I then due to the error about files in the nvram folder, deleted them. which of course (now I know) those were not temporary. So recreate the vm's again, but with this weird (busted?) img file that is 1.8megs. It's 79% full, and I have 2 vm's left to re-create. Everything is up and running though.
December 27, 20223 yr Author Bumping this, as I just ran in to this issue again. Is there anything I can do here? Why is this only 1.8 Megs?

February 9, 20233 yr Author Something keeps changing it back. I change it to 1 gig, and to the appdata folder, and now when I look at df-h, it is back to 1.8M under /etc/libvirt.. Need to figure out where to fix this at.

February 9, 20233 yr Author I can fix the issue if it occurs. Now that I know what to do. It's almost like I have 2 different libvirt files now. If I reboot, the old 1.8M one is being used. I stop vmmanager, and start it up again, and it is now using the correct one. from df -h: /dev/loop2 1.8M 1.8M 0 100% /etc/libvirt They are different.

VM Manager needs to be stopped to see the allocation size. Does you system share span multiple devices? could you post diagnostics
February 15, 20233 yr Author yes. when I stop vm manager. I see the proper 1gig file. but if I restart the system and everything attempts to come up, the old 1 meg libvirt file is in use. until I stop vm manager, and restart it.
