...g to all the other files (e.g. guest-f001.vmdk, guest-f002.vmdk,...). I tried the following scenarios without success: 1- just adding the base vmdk: add_drive guest.vmdk 2- adding all the files: add_drive guest-f001.vmdk add_drive guest-f002.vmdk ... It works if I merge all the files with vmware-vdiskmanager (something like: vmware-vdiskmanager -r guest.vmdk -t 0 guest-new.vmdk) Can I use guestfs without merging all the files in one image? Thanks, Thierry

...en grow the logical volume(s) and the file systems on it. BTW, this is all on a VMware virtual disk, so I really can't screw things up, as I have a copy of the VMDK files and can start over again (and again, and again...). The disk was originally 8GB, and I just resized it with vmware-vdiskmanager. I have tried to use parted to resize the partition, but I get the message "Error: Could not detect file system.", and I can't find a way to resize the partition with fdisk and sfdisk. Am I missing something obvious or is this not doable? Thanks, Alfred

Hi, I use Xen 3.0.3-1 on a Debian Etch with LVM to store my DomUs. I already exploit a Windows 2000 in a DomU but I can''t install a windows NT4 Server: I have a death of Blue Screen during the installation begining. Did someone test that scary NT4 DomU with success? I think NT4 need a disk driver but wich one? and how can I give it one? My last solution to test is: to convert a NT4

Dear virt list I have some virtual machines running on my notebook under VMWare 6.5.2 64 bit that I would like to move to a current 64 bit CentOS 5.3 machine with a current Intel Xeon processor. The virtual machines do use the GUI, e.g. they are not text only. Is it better to use VMware server or Xen? If using Xen, do I have to convert the images? Regards, Peter -- Dott. Peter

Hi, Maybe this is just a newbie question. I am trying to inspect VMware images with guestfish. I am running Fedora 15 in a VSphere VM. Once Fedora is installed I do: yum update yum install '*guestf*' Then I run guesfish on a copy of a Fedora 15 disk. guestfish -rw -I -a Fedora15-2-disk1.vmdk with the following result: libguestfs: error: unexpected end of file
