Hello List, i was able to resize the drbd partition on Dom0 online. Unfortunatelly the new partition size only gets reconized from the DomU after rebooting. Is there a way to manually re-read the partition table without rebooting?

Unfortunately no, that''s not possible at the moment. There''s a feature request about that. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

What you''re doing right now provides simplicity, at the cost of having to restart domU after disk resize. If you want the ability to add disks to domU online (without reboot), you need to use LVM on domU as well. In that setup new disks can be added to domU online using xm block-attach (and editing domU config file, if you still use that). domU then uses that disk as a new PV to extend its VG.
