** Storage Editor** doesn’t see my /home disk BTRFS partition filesystem.
** /var/lib/machines is not the proper place to select, this make create /var/lib/machines and an additional sub-volumnes inside it with the name → /var/lib/machines/var/lib/machines directory which is incorrect, select nvme0n1p3 is enough and let’s the system do its works like manual configuration when selecting the device nvme0n1p2 for / (ROOT).
** Is confuse to see these BTRFS sub-volumes TOP-level_ and /var/lib/machine and have the option to edit, mount and create there.

Now I can see in KVM but not in vmware whic use NVM, I will restart my PC with an USB with Fedora 42

I’m not against changes and that we have to adapt and be familiar with the tools, however, I see this type of thing with disbelief. It’s not a configuration taken from some dark side, it’s a configuration that any of us could have. I don’t know if the QA team has some kind of TEST to validate this case.

Good and Bad news.,

  • I can see all my HD in my BOX but I don’t install it.
  • I install it in Kvm.
  • I select root in top-level and storage editor say not / (ROOT) selected then I’ve select /var/lib/machine and clik install.
  • Reboot.
  • Install blivet-gui and then /var/lib/machine/var/lib/machine again.
  • You should review Why Storage Editor can’t see two nmve at the same time, this incident is become problem with vmware now (how vmware is so popular now because if free) if you see someone asking → I can’t see my drivers in vmware, now you now why. (someone needs to be the first).

I’ve start again with an ISO from 42 in kvm:

  • I don’t see the reinstall option
  • I don’t see my home
  • see the /var/lib/machine parent sub-volumen and /var/lib/machine children subvolumen


sudo btrfs subvolume show /var/lib/machines

you can use:

on real one:

sudo btrfs subvolume list /

ID 256 gen 3144 top level 5 path var/lib/machines
