I have just installed qemu-kvm as a trial so that I can compare it with VBox which I use quite a lot to test other distros and new *ubuntu versions.
All was OK until I created a VM of Linux-Mint-20 using virt-manager, then noticed that the VMs it creates are placed in /var/lib/libvirt meaning that my root partition was immediately filled to 98%, so that's a non-starter for me.
I managed to remove the VM to release space in the root partition, though I had to do it manually after uninstalling the whole shooting match of qemu-kvm and rebooting.
Do the VMs have to be in the root partition or can they be placed in a folder in my home, which in my case is a separate partition with masses of space?
