Hi,

if it's an lvm, you can e.g. extend 10 GB this way when the DomU is down::

 lvextend -L+10GB /dev/vgname/lvname
 e2fsck -f /dev/vgname/lvname
 resize2fs -p /dev/vgname/lvname

For iso based virtual disks, I guess it could be the same way, if you are
able to extend the file, what I don't know how to do it.

BR,
Carsten.

Betreff: [Xen-users] extend hdd in domU

Hi Alli need some information about how i can extend the HDD in domU.

I am a domU having 10GB of disk assigned to it now which is running out of space.is there a way i can assign a other 10GB space to the system in such a way that it appears as a single HDD of 20GB without loss of data.

Thanks

Arpan,
    As questions get asked repeatedly I'm putting together tutorials. I already had one for resizing Dom0 LVM Volumes for DomUs. I just put together a tutorial for resizing Diskimages. I'm not sure which you need but there they are anyway.

Resize Xen Disk Image - http://www.grantmcwilliams.com/index.php/virtualization/xen-howtos/262-resize-xen-disk-image
Hot Resize LVM Volume -  http://www.grantmcwilliams.com/index.php/virtualization/xen-howtos/211-hot-resize-lvm-logical-volumes

If the tutorials don't cover what you wanted let me know so I can add it.

Grant McWilliams
