Disks

Disks manages virtual disks across the Home — separate from boot images.

Disks page with per-Device usage and disk table

Storage cards show each Device’s disk usage; unreachable Devices render as unreachable cards instead of fake numbers.

Create Disk opens a modal (“Saved on this Device…”) with:

  • Name
  • Block device (attach a host block device as raw; only offered when available)
  • Size (GB)
  • Format

Linux block-device notes:

  • Mounts, swaps, and devices the host already uses stay blocked.
  • The Device’s barkvisor user needs the disk group (barkvisor.service.d/disk.conf).
  • macOS has no block-device option.

New disks on a Device go to that Device’s default disk directory unless Create Disk picks another folder — see the disk directory on the Device page.
