I think an important thing to point out is that virt-clone is just a fancy way of copying (ie. dd) the data, plus it makes a handful of changes to the libvirt config. You can do most of this by alternate means. > > Previously could just make a 20GB partition and use virt-resize to > > expand into - using the above method I would have to increase the > > LVM to the value I want minus the size of the template.. i.e I > > have to specify - the amount to increase by, rather than the final > > size I want....

There's not much point in doing virt-clone + virt-resize, since virt-resize itself does a copy. Maybe you should explain exactly what overall goal you're trying to achieve, instead of how you're currently trying to do it.
