I resized a partition inside a KVM RAW file system disk image. When I

partition that it lives on. I gather from hours so reading the manual
that I need to increase the NTFS file system size to fill the new larger
partition where it lives.
The ntfresize command does not seem to be compatible with disk image
files. Do I have to mount the disk image file with a loopback first?
It's generally recommended to use Windows tools to do NTFS re-sizing.
I can't help with that, but from Linux you would need to run
kpartx -a -v /path/to/image/file
to create the /dev/mapper/loop?p? devices for the partitions within
the image. You can then access those devices just like regular disk
partitions.
Run "kpartx -d -v /path/to/image/file" to delete the loop devices.
