You do not need LVM for that provided you have the disk space on the dom0: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1024 >> /var/lib/xen/images/guest.dsk e2fsck -f /var/lib/xen/images/guest.dsk resize2fs /var/lib/xen/images/guest.dsk e2fsck -f /var/lib/xen/images/guest.dsk Paul -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
