Are you looking for /var/lib/libvirt/images or /var/lib/machines? You can mount partitions on subdirectories if you want.
Honestly you could even mount your separate partition on /kvm-machines and tell your KVM program that the images can be found in that directory. Just a matter of taste where you want to mount your partition.
Well, I would look probably for both (as I wish that after a new install I am able to format the system volumes and thus not to loose the kvm things. I think your /kvm-machines is just nice. And @David: I have only one SSD. It is actually a notebook. So I had it partitioned as follows: Dim. Usati Dispon. Uso% Montato su devtmpfs 3,8G 8,0K 3,8G 1% /dev tmpfs 3,8G 8,0M 3,8G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 3,8G 2,6M 3,8G 1% /run tmpfs 3,8G 0 3,8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mapper/system-root 30G 8,9G 19G 32% / /dev/sda1 379M 63M 292M 18% /boot /dev/mapper/system-home 403G 280G 107G 73% /home /dev/mapper/system-var 30G 1,8G 28G 7% /var tmpfs 778M 0 778M 0% /run/user/484 tmpfs 778M 8,0K 778M 1% /run/user/1000 tmpfs 778M 12K 778M 1% /run/user/1005 tmpfs 778M 24K 778M 1% /run/user/1002 I do use only and exclusively EXT4 (no btrfs). @Bianca: thank you for the advice however, others will find it useful! So I will probably, when I install 42.3, format all system disks and mount the current /var as KMV-something instead, informing then KVM were to look. As I do not have virtualized anything currently, this should be painless. Last question: in order to migrate a virtual machine (kvm), would it be possible to copy both /var/lib/libvirt/images or /var/lib/machines to the new partition in order to overtake all to the new location? Would a simple cp -ax suffice? Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
