Yes, it will, works all the time with me but using SysrescueCD. But don't forget to backup your data before the resizing, any operation with disk partitions may lost data.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/1/26 Poh Yong Hwang <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:yongsan@gmail.com">yongsan@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I have two guest vm instance running CentOS 5 with ext3 partition. I will like to reduce 1 VM harddisk space and using the 'release' harddisk space to add onto my second VM. Basically I need to know how can I reduce and increase an ext3 partition in CentOS KVM. I did a search and basically i can do it by booting the VM using Knoppix and use Gparted to reduce and increase the diskspace. I am thinking of the following</div>
<div><br></div><div>1) Boot first VM using Knoppix</div><div>2) Reduce the ext3 partition disk size using Gparted</div><div>3) Shutdown the VM and resize the diskspace using Virtual Manager</div><div>4) Increae the diskspace of the second VM using Virtual Manager</div>
<div>5) Boot up second VM using Knoppix</div><div>6) Increase the ext3 partition disk size using Gparted</div><div>7) Reboot the second VM</div><div><br></div><div>As this is the first time i am doing it, will these work? Anyone has experience resiziing their EXT3 partition in KVM environment before?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div>yongsan</div>
