Next in my qubes learning is the creation of a HVM.  I noticed a couple things 
through the process and wanted to get comments on some of the hang-ups.

First step was to download an .iso into one of my AppVMs.  During this process, 
the  AppVMs were failing downloads after a couple of minutes. I suspected it 
was because that they were filling up their disk space, even with no other 
files on the AppVM.  

After running a 'df -h' I noticed that the "rw" drive was at 100% (is this 
something Qubes specific?), even after expanding the AppVMs through Qubes 
Manager.

1.  What might be causing this?  What is the "rw" drive?

I circumvented this holdup by creating a new AppVM with enough space to 
download the .iso.  After creating the StandadloneVM and pointing its boot 
'cdrom' to the .iso file in the AppVM mentioned above, the opening screen of 
the OS appears and is interactive.  However, after choosing to boot the OS, the 
screen quickly closes and the StandaloneVM shuts down.

2.  What do you suspect causes this?  The StandaloneVM has been allocated 15GB 
of space and left the default 4GB RAM.


System: Base Qubes 4.0 installation, Fedora 28 template, Thinkpad T480 w/32Gb 
RAM.

Expected results: StandaloneVM boots into basic OS configuration wizard for the 
.iso and installation can proceed.

Thanks again for any help in advance!
