Hi, I've been using qemu-img resize for a few days now, seems fine. But if I du the VMs image file, it still shows the size before resizing. Inside that VM, the new size shows correctly. Is qemu-img resize the right tool for this? Once I qemu-img resize, I then use various fdisk/ LVM tools, etc... to resize within the VM just incase you all were wondering. - aurf
Sorry folks. Didn't realize resize creates a sparse file. All good. Gotta say, resize/lvm rocks. - aurf On Jun 6, 2013, at 5:44 PM, aurfalien wrote:> Hi, > > I've been using qemu-img resize for a few days now, seems fine. > > But if I du the VMs image file, it still shows the size before resizing. > > Inside that VM, the new size shows correctly. > > Is qemu-img resize the right tool for this? > > Once I qemu-img resize, I then use various fdisk/ LVM tools, etc... to resize within the VM just incase you all were wondering. > > - aurf

When you do qemu-img info <filename>, the size should be consistent with the increase in disk image.> Inside that VM, the new size shows correctly.Additionally, you need to resize the file system residing in this image file.> > Is qemu-img resize the right tool for this? >Yes, HTH. -- Arun Khan Sent from my non-iphone/non-android device
