Re: [CentOS-virt] Resizing EXT3 partition in guest instance CentOS5
Yes, it will, works all the time with me but using SysrescueCD. But don't forget to backup your data before the resizing, any operation with disk partitions may lost data. 2011/1/26 Poh Yong Hwang yong...@gmail.com Hi, I have two guest vm instance running CentOS 5 with ext3 partition. I will like to reduce 1 VM harddisk space and using the 'release' harddisk space to add onto my second VM. Basically I need to know how can I reduce and increase an ext3 partition in CentOS KVM. I did a search and basically i can do it by booting the VM using Knoppix and use Gparted to reduce and increase the diskspace. I am thinking of the following 1) Boot first VM using Knoppix 2) Reduce the ext3 partition disk size using Gparted 3) Shutdown the VM and resize the diskspace using Virtual Manager 4) Increae the diskspace of the second VM using Virtual Manager 5) Boot up second VM using Knoppix 6) Increase the ext3 partition disk size using Gparted 7) Reboot the second VM As this is the first time i am doing it, will these work? Anyone has experience resiziing their EXT3 partition in KVM environment before? Thanks!

Hi, Great! Thanks for the quick response. I will try it out then. Yes. I do have backup for the host as well as the guest nodes. :) Regards yongsan On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 6:43 PM, Lorenzo Quatrini lorenzo.quatr...@gmail.com wrote: Poh Yong Hwang ha scritto: Hi, I have two guest vm instance running CentOS 5 with ext3 partition.

Re: [CentOS-virt] cluster of virtual machines using libvirt/kvm + Gluster
I gave up to use gluster as storage, now using gfs2+storage everything is working fine... now a question came up, after alter /etc/cluster/cluster.conf, what services need I to reload/restart after add a new vm resource? Thanks - - iarlyy selbir :wq!

They only ran while on ext3 or ext4. I saw something similar when I put some images on an NTFS volume. This worked under Fedora 11 but when I switched to Fedora 14 the virt-manager refused to read the images. In the end I copied them onto the root ext4 system and then everything was fine.
