I'm looking for a way to online resize a Windows disk -- i.e., be able to resize the disk without shutting down, rebooting, or detaching the disk. Is this at all possible? Or am I just barking up the wrong tree? I'm not finding a way to do this and even Amazon has a weird workaround, in which the user must write data to the newly resized-drive in order to recognize the new size

I'm trying to determine if it's possible to edit/attach/apply nwfilter rules at runtime? I.e., after a VM is already running, can I apply a nwfilter to the VM and have it work without rebooting the machine? Thus far, I've not come across a way to do so, but I thought I'd ask here before I chase my tail around Google. Thanks! -- Andre Goree -=-=-=-=-=- Email - andre at

Hello all. I was hoping someone out there might have some advice or suggestions regarding an upgrade from an archaic Asterisk version. I've been given the daunting task of upgrading a very old Asterisk-1.0.x install to a recent LTS version. I'll also need the install to have high-availability and failover support. From my research, it would appear that AsteriskNOW-3.0 might be my

I'm trying to apply a nwfilter rule for two networks on the same guest interface, like so: ~ # virsh nwfilter-dumpxml 1081532-private-both <filter name='1081532-private-both' chain='root'> <uuid>16004b94-2b62-4568-9467-169908eb4040</uuid> <rule action='accept' direction='in' priority='500'> <ip

I'm wondering whether or not anyone has tried to use guestmount on an image with a ZFS partition (MBR partition table). I can't seem to find much on the internet regarding it, but I do see hints that may lead me to a solution. I'm under the impression that libguestfs can use what ever is available to the kernel on the host -- in my case I have zfs-use installed and running. I

I have some questions regarding the way that networking is handled via qemu/kvm+libvirt -- my apologies in advance if this is not the proper mailing list for such a question. I am trying to determine how exactly I can manipulate traffic from a _guest's_ NIC using iptables on the _host_. On the host, there is a bridged virtual NIC that corresponds to the guest's NIC. That interface

Is r/w to a UFS partition using 'guestmount' still an impossibility? From everything I've found, it seems to be something that is not possible at the moment. I was just wondering if that has changed or if there are plans to change that? Here is the issue I'm experiencing: ~# guestmount --rw -a ${disk_path}/${disk_name} -m /dev/sda4 /tmp/freebsd-master libguestfs: error:

Hi, I am working on oVirt, and I am trying to run a VM with a network disk with ISCSI protocol ( the storage is on a Cinder server). Here is the disk XML I use: <disk device="disk" snapshot="no" type="network"> <address bus="0" controller="0" target="0" type="drive" unit="0" />

I'm unable to detach a disk from a Windows guest using the 'virsh detach-disk' command. Even though 'domblklist' shows the disk attached, and on the FIRST iteration, it says the command "completed successfully," 'domblklist will still show the disk attached and subsequent 'detach-disk' commands fail with 'no disk found whose source path or target

Hello. I'd like to determine if it's possible to change the 'machine type' attribute while a vm is running. For example, I have: <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-trusty'>hvm</type> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> I'd like to change that to "machine='pc-i440fx-1.7'" due to an error[1]

Hi! Could you, please, point me to where I can read about possible values for domain/devices tag in case of OpenVZ? I couldn't find such info at [1] whereas e.g. filesystem is mentioned at [2] but not at [1]. Thanks! Nikolay.

I'm having an issue when resizing a disk (a Ceph RBD disk, though the type of disk shouldn't matter, I'd think) attached to a Windows Server 2016 guest. After I resize the disk, the newly-created disk space is _not_ recognized by the server. Even after running Action > Rescan from the Disk Management app, the new disk space does not show. However, when I perform the same

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what controls the number if in-flight virtio block operations when running linux in qemu on top of a linux host. The problem is that we're trying to run as many VMs as possible, using ceph/rbd for the rootfs. We've tripped over the fact the the memory consumption of qemu can spike noticeably when doing I/O (something as simple as "dd" from
