Required Workspace Settings

For the system to work, certain requirements must be met for settings inside the Workspace.

QEMU Guest Agent

During CLI operations, the host often works with the Workspace through QEMU Guest Agent, so it must be enabled inside the Workspace.

Synchronous Discard

Synchronous discard must not be disabled for Workspace partitions. If you create a new partition, synchronous discard must be enabled on the filesystem inside that partition.

If there are layers between the partition and the filesystem, such as LVM, those layers must pass discard through. You can check this with lsblk --discard: DISC-GRAN and DISC-MAX must not be zero.

Swap files and swap partitions also need their own synchronous discard configuration.

If synchronous discard is disabled, deleting files inside the Workspace will not free storage space on the host. Over time, the system can stop working because there is no space left.

Cloud Init

Enabling Cloud Init in the Workspace is strongly discouraged.
