To Reproduce How, and what happened?

Not reproducible. The primary instance got shutdown during apt upgrade.

Hi @ikitayama, could you please provide the logs, as described here? Thanks!

I assume the instance ran out of space and hang up, but I can't see why it disappeared.

[ikitayama]

I only find multipassd.log there. A quick glance, I am not sure if this has the relevant crash log.

[ikitayama]

I am happy to send the log off list if someone can take a look.

@ikitayama yes, please send the multipassd.log file. Thanks!

To you?

Hi @ikitayama. I couldn't find any evidence of a VM crash in that log file.

To try to better understand the issue you experienced, what exactly did you observe when your 100G primary instance stopped being "accessible"? You're on an M1 mac, correct? So you ran apt upgrade inside the instance, then what happened? And how was that instance replaced with a new primary with 5G?

[ikitayama]

All I recall is: I did upgrade to the latest release, and the vm crashed in the middle of apt upgrade. Then my M1 Max started reporting 1TB of storage was almost full; so I tried to remove unnecessary files and binaries.

Hi @ikitayama. So could the lack of disk space have prevented apt from going on with the upgrade? And did you manually remove the instance when deleting those unnecessary files? How do you think Multipass should have done differently?

Possibly, and I am not certain if I removed the instance. Sorry.

OK, it doesn't look like Multipass did anything wrong then? I am going to close this now. Please reopen if there is anything specific you think Multipass should do differently.
