I created a F41 VM using the default disk layout.
After creating a F41 VM, when I run “dnf update” I get
Curl error (23): Failed writing received data to disk/application for http://southfront.mm.fcix.net/fedora/linux/updates/41/Everything/x86_64/Packages/k/kernel-modules-6.12.6-200.fc41.x8

It would appear that this partition is too small.

What do I need to do?

Hi Jens,

Yes, way to small!!! …
Personally, I would just start over … I usually create at least a 36GB vDisk for an install of Fedora as a VM… then the default layout works fine …

I tend to create a 40G to 60G virtual disk for a VM. 1.6G is far from large enough and I am surprised that it even installed in that.

Using libvirt and virt-manager the default size it suggests is 20G.

Thank you for your suggestion. I originally setup 96 GB for drive space. I did not remove the ISO from the VM’s configuration. After removing the ISO, everything began to work.

… ahh … probably was booting from the ISO instead of the vdisk … OOOppppsss :slight_smile:
Glad you figured it out and got things working :slight_smile:
And the clue was staring me in the face to boot … LOL!!
