Yes, it's whatever size you gave to the private volume of the DVM Template.



Easy way to check:

qvm-run fedora-32-dvm xterm

then in the xterm:

df -h

... you will see how much is free and how much is used. Look for /rw

So let's say your Template is called 'fedora-32-dvm', then open it's settings in the Qube Manager. It is like set to 2048 MB. This should be enough but depending on what modifications you have done to the template the free space in the private volume could be less than 1.6 GB Then shut it down and increase the private size in the settings. Or just set it to 20480 anyway. :-) If it's not used it won't take space on your hard disk and since the result is disposable anyway it's no concern.
