Using and Mounting a Secondary Internal HD
nickg...@gmail.com
I'm working on getting a second m.2 internal SSD set up and partitioned for Qubes. I already have it formatted by fdisk /dev/sdb. Created a new extended partition.
I added the /dev/sdb to fstab as an ext5. I'm getting wrong fs type error. One fix I found was installing nfs-tools. But you can't seem to get that installed on Dom0.
What is the default extension created in fdisk on qubes? I've tried ext, ext [1-5]. Parted -l only shows extended (whereas primary it shows ext4).
What do I need to do to allow the creation and migration of Qubes VM's to the new disk?
I'll be researching and working it on my end. But if any of you guys out there have an answer, or can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

I am also using 2 internal drives.
One for Qubes and one for windows.
I have just installed Qubes to the 2nd drive and set it up as default boot drive in the BIOS.
If I need to boot into Windows I just hit F12 when starting, which brings me to the boot menu.
If I understand you right, you want to use a 2nd drive as additional (!) storage for Qubes, right?
I think what you want is to setup the partition as a LUKAS partition (to have encryption) and then create a filesystem (extX) on top.
Maybe also setup LVM.
Another option could be to extend the LVM (if you are using LVM in Qubes) with a 2nd drive (your M2 SSD).
In case you do not want to enter 2 credentials for LUKS you could maybe store the decryption key on dom0.
Then adding the 2nd drive to LVM, create an own Volumegroup and migrate the VMs.

To be able to clone decent sized Ubuntu & Windows templates.
So far I've attempted to format the disk through fdisk as an extended partition. Then used mkfs.ext3 to format the drive. But when it comes to putting ext3 type into fstab. it returns as an unrecognized type.
I then took a crack at these instructions:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/custom-install/#manual-encryption-configuration-r31
The most efficient way honestly, might be backing up all the VM's to an external disk, wiping the OS, and installing with both drives formatted together on initial installation. (would need to buy the drive)
It will be good experience to get it configured manually. But to pick up where I left off required decryption and opening of the luks volume by command line.
What is the best method for extending the LVM within Qubes?
So
1) Lukas partition
2) mkfs.ext3
3) fstab & crypttab
