Actually this notification is nothing Qubes specific. It is just standard (gnome?) application installed by default in template. |
We have both "private" and "system" (aka "root") volume sizes configurable in GUI qube settings. The "system" one is active only for qubes having own system volume (templates, standalone).
The second one may be slightly misleading, as it would be from the time the settings are open, not updated in real-time. So, if qube is writing a lot of data, the number will be outdated. But IMO it's very minor issue. @marmarta do we want this, or leave it as it is? |
This is done by QubesOS/qubes-manager#141. Also, I made a pull request to improve the documentation to make it less intimidating ( QubesOS/qubes-doc#765 ) because honestly, when I looked at it myself I really did not think "oh nice just use the GUI to resize" but more like "so many steps, so much can go wrong")
Maybe this should rather be added to the Qube Manager? We have current usage but not maximum size; maybe it would be a good idea to add something like % used. |
