template vm private.img file weighs (size) 171.8 MB, not 3 GB, can you save data?

[jer...@disroot.org]

can you somehow save the data? is it a corrupt file? when i put this file in the template folder in /var/lib/qubes, the data is not there.

Try to copy it into a VM, then do a loop mount on it. In Stretch it would be:
cd ~
mkdir mnt
sudo mount private.img mnt

'private.img' is the contens of /home and /rw

you may be looking for 'root.img' if you are talking about a template.

Not sure if this command is available on 3.2, but qvm-volume is useful too.
