CentOS virt - Jun 2013 - qemu-img resize run on live VM

Hi,

I ran gemu-img on a VM thinking it was down but in fact it was live.

I rebooted the VM and it does show the added space after running pv/lv etc to
resize the disk, also the KVM server if you will, also shows the correct new
size of that particular VMs raw file via du.

However the virtual machine manager still shows the disk size of that VM as
being before the resize.

Is there a way that I can fix this?

Is this a benign discrepancy? 

Thanks in advance,

In virt-manager open the storage view and manually refresh.  It should then
show the correct size.  Storage view I believe is under Edit -> Connection
Details.

Also you may want look at using the virt-resize command to combine the
steps of qemu-img and the LVM commands.  It can resize the virtual disk and
the guest's logical volumes in a single command.
