How to check total storage used by VM?

[Jerry]

I need to see how much room I have on my ssd preferrably by vm. Seems I created and deleted several vms but I seem to have missing space I should have. Any help or add on would be appreciated.

You could run the following command in your dom0:

du -sh /var/lib/qubes/appvms/* /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/* /var/lib/qubes/servicevms/*

This will show the summarized space of all VM directories.

Is this what your are looking for?

Yes that shows me. Thank you. Now if I alotted in the vm itself 125gb and it shows 53gb then that extra space is still there or is it actually holding 125?

storage space is thin provisioned as such your App-VMs will grow over time.

You can check the available space with

df -h

Please keep in mind that you have several layers:

Physical Harddrive / SSD

Partitions

LUKS Encryption

LVM

LVM consists of:

LVM PV Physical Volumes (command: pvdisplay)

LVM VG Volume Groups (command: vgdisplay)

LVM LV Logical Volumes (command: lvdisplay)

This offers lots of flexibility but also raises complexity.

You could have only 10 GB physical free space on you drive, while a virtual machine with a thin provisioned drive could fool you that there is plenty free space available.

qvm-ls -d from dom0.
