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. You don't need to create and concatenate an empty raw image file. To grow the raw image file in a single step: $ qemu-img resize test.img +10G This only grows the virtual disk size. Inside the guest you still need to resize partitions, logical volumes, and file systems like you mentioned.
