Hello All,
I am using Centos 6.3 with libvirt 0.910 and qemu-kvm 0.12
I had to resize a qcow2 disk, and came across several issues;
I used this command to resize the image:
sudo -i /usr/bin/qemu-img /var/lib/libvirt/images/mydisk.img resize
+100G . The disk is attached using virtio.
For my resizes I use libguestfs's virt-resize [1] tool. It's been
working flawlessly so far -- it resizes both the image file/device and
partitions inside that image. I can't recommend it enough.
Best,
Hristo
