You've increased the size of the hard drive, but you haven't changed the filesystem on top of the hard drive to use that extra space. How you do that depends on whether the virtual disks are partitioned with filesystems in the partitions; or formatted with a filesystem directly. If they are partitioned, then you need to boot off a LiveCD, extend the partition, then extend the filesystem in the partition. If they are formatted directly, then (depending on the filesystem) you can grow the filesystem. Some filesystems can't be extended live, so you have to boot to a LiveCD. No fancy VM-related tools required. Just think in terms of real, physical hardware, and it all becomes clear. :) -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@xxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
