similar to: Resize KVM NTFS file system

Hey all, I resized a partition inside a KVM RAW file system disk image. When I start the Win7 virtual machine it does not report the new partition size. It shows the file system as 15GB instead of the 50GB size of the partition that it lives on. I gather from hours so reading the manual that I need to increase the NTFS file system size to fill the new larger partition where it lives. The

Boot off that Live image on a CD or thumbdrive (or use the version of GPartEd included with the System Rescue Live CD

Here's the situation. I have a dual boot machine - originally had Red Hat and Windows 2000 Pro. The NTFS partition never did seem to 'get along' with the Adaptec 2400A caching RAID controller. Linux always seemed to like the I2O drivers. I went from RH Enterprise to now running Centos 5.5. Works great! I really don't want the 200 gigs worth of NTFS. Can't I just run

How do you resize the partition without loosing data? gparted does not support LVM.

I''m trying to shrink a btrfs partition I have. Using latest gparted live, gparted will fail during the fsck of the drive. The output has something similar to "root 338 inode 7861227 errors 1000" and "found 46242054144 bytes used err is 1". I can run "btrfsck --repair" on the device and the output changes to "...used err is 0" but then btrfsck still

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to extend (ie: grow) a PV that is part of a Volume Group? I currently have a partition on my HD that is being used as a PV for my Volume Group, but would like to make it larger. I have the space on my drive to extend my partition, but using standard tools (ex: gparted, Partition Magic, etc) would likely end up corrupting the data on in the Logical Volumes

I have installed the following 2 packages on Centos 5.6, and used GParted to successfully create an 8GB NTFS partition, on some unused HDD space.

Hi all! I've got a VM at work running C6 on HyperV (no, its not my fault, that's what the company uses. I'd rather gag myself than own one of th ose things.) I ran out of disk space in the VM, so the admin enlarged the virtual disk. but now I realize I don't know how to enlarge the partition and its filesystem. I'll be googling, but in case I miss it, it'd be great if

Hi, I have two guest vm instance running CentOS 5 with ext3 partition. I will like to reduce 1 VM harddisk space and using the 'release' harddisk space to add onto my second VM. Basically I need to know how can I reduce and increase an ext3 partition in CentOS KVM. I did a search and basically i can do it by booting the VM using Knoppix and use Gparted to reduce and increase the
