Hi, A KVM guest had the following root partition. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/mintaka--vg-root 3.7G 3.3G 134M 97% / After the guest was shutdown, I run "qemu-img resize" to resize the image. And I got the following. $ qemu-img info saiph.qcow2 image: saiph.qcow2 file format: qcow2 virtual size: 50G (53687091200 bytes) disk size: 3.8G cluster_size: 65536 Then I restarted the vm. When I tried fdisk, I got the following, which is different from https://gist.github.com/larsks/3933980 (as I don't see the three partitions vda[1-3]). ~$ sudo fdisk /dev/mapper/mintaka--vg-root [sudo] password for pengy: Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x158bca61. Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable. Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/mapper/mintaka--vg-root: 4005 MB, 4005560320 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 486 cylinders, total 7823360 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x158bca61 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System When I try resize2fs, it does not increase the root size. :~$ sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/mintaka--vg-root resize2fs 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013) The filesystem is already 977920 blocks long. Nothing to do! Does anybody know how can I increase the root partition size so that it uses the whole qcow2 image? Thanks. -- Regards, Peng _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
