Presumably you would have something like the following in your xen configuration file for this host: "Disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda2, disk_name, w' ]" I think you would need to build your guest system with the partition disk_name as a logical volume, ie disk_name Being a logical volume which one could then resize within the guest system. I too have thought about What you are experiencing and to get around it I have had to create a new partition within the host and present it to the guest like so: "Disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda2, disk_name1, w', 'phy:/dev/sda3, disk_name2, w' ]" However, perhaps all this can be averted if the disk presented to the guest is created as a logical Volume as described above during the guest installation procedure.

The virtual machine has a hard drive image create has a file image on the host machine. Is it possible to increase the size of the hard drive or must I create another disk image and mount it as a second hard drive? I would prefer being able to resize the hard drive to keep the machine as one file but not sure how I would do this.
