Hi,
Why wandering off-topic? This is about CentOS on VPSes. I can´t
remember which Debian or Ubuntu commands I found since I didn´t use them.
I´m allowing dd to totally fill the partition and the OS is surviving
perfectly (It´s a web server and works fine as long as I don´t keep it
"full" too long).
Regarding other comments that I have read:
I´m using qcow2, I don´t need to shrink the HD size since sometimes it
grows temporarily (backups).
Regards,
Miguel
