Hi, i'm not very experienced in KVM. I installed two VM's in a raw image. I'm impressed of the speed of the vm's, that's nice :-). I have a lot of vm's running on VMWare Server 1.09, which is very old. I'd like to migrate them to KVM. I'd like to migrate them to raw images, because i'm able to mount a raw image from the host like a partition if the VM is having problems. I also have to create some new vm's. What is when disk space is running out ? My idea is to create the new vm's in raw images. Inside the vm, filesystems will reside in logical volumes. When disk space is running out, i resize the raw image using: - qemu-img create -f raw additional.raw <size> - cat additional.raw >> vm.raw - inside the vm, resize the filesystems easily with lvm tools und resize2fs. What do you think about this idea ? Are there easier solutions ? Thanks in advance.
