</div></div>I can only think of creating a smaller qcow file, clonning using dd<br>
the contents of the oversized qcow/raw HD to that newly qcow<br>
file...although is not the best solution.<br>
<br>
Maybe someone else could bring a better solution because there's no<br>
much info on KVM just a little under Xen... :(<br>
