Hello everyone,

Im starting to use Xen on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2, but Im not quite happy yet with the virtual disk management. I still need to do a lot of research about that, but first I want to ask the community about a simple way to handle the guest machine disks.

Is there any way to increase/decrease a guest machine disk after the OS is installed? Can I have a dynamically expanding disk when I create a virtual machine?

Any best practices that you can give me regarding to that?

Thanks in advance!
