Hi,
Sorry if there are some technical errors & lack of understandings, thinpool lvm storages managed by incus makes my brain fart a lot, thank a lot to anyone helping & for that awesome patience.
☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ
I have a 48G tar.gz virtual machine (that will be 150G in the end~) that I need to import back into my brand new dedicated lvm thinpool storage, before that it was a lvm loop disk but I managed to break it all.
(⊙﹏⊙✿)
When I try to import it I have an error that says my backup volume is too little, I’m sorry I don’t have the specific error, here is the error :
Importing instance: 20% (12.54MB/s)Error: write /var/lib/incus/backups/incus_backup_1356021296: no space left on device
I thought thinpool provisionning would avoid me to resize anything but I didn’t understand very well I guess, so my quest now is to try resizing custom_default_backups--vol.
Problem are I have some errors with these commands :
incus storage volume set default backups-vol size=160Gib
Error: Invalid value for volume "default_backups-vol" option "size": Invalid value: 160Gib
I also tried :
incus storage volume set default backups-vol size=160
Error: In use
But it is not in use :
incus storage volume list default

And now I don’t have a clue to resize my backup volume (it worked for nanani, nanana & patati although there storage is bigger than 10G, so I’m stuck, would you have clue to resize it ? I’m also ok deleting & recreating it but I’m stuck too (you can see above at « USED BY » column that it is not used) :
incus storage volume delete default custom/backups-vol
Error: The storage volume is still in use
Here are some informations about volume group I’m using which is srv, Data% column is not well shown but there is well and truly 10.71 used on this 360G disk.

Would someone have a clue I could dig in to resize backup volume ? Or any other clues about importing my vm ?
Again, thanks a bunch reading this, I will be done about all these questions after this one.
EDIT : added volume backup error I finally found
