Hi,
I have an issue. I have already resize the partition using Gparted. Now how can i resize the actual image size in virtual manager? I do not see any option for me to change the size of the allocated hard disk.
Please advise.
Thanks!

Hi,
Great! Thanks for the quick response. I will try it out then. Yes. I do have backup for the host as well as the guest nodes. :)

Hi,
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
- Boot first VM using Knoppix
- Reduce the ext3 partition disk size using Gparted
- Shutdown the VM and resize the diskspace using Virtual Manager
- Increae the diskspace of the second VM using Virtual Manager
- Boot up second VM using Knoppix
- Increase the ext3 partition disk size using Gparted
- Reboot the second VM
As this is the first time i am doing it, will these work? Anyone has experience resiziing their EXT3 partition in KVM environment before?
Thanks!

I guess it would work, but just in case remember: do backup beforehand :D
