Unless it has changed, it's not 1024 bits, but it's 1MB. According to my notes, I was getting this error message otherwise: "The size must be a whole number (in MBs)."

Then, use something like that: roundedsize=$((($size/(1024*1024)+1)*(1024*1024))) qemu-img resize $image $roundedsize qemu-img convert -o subformat=fixed -O vpc $image $vhd [ this code is a small part of http://git.hupstream.com/?p=projects/azure-image.git;a=summary. I guess it can be improved but at least it was working last time I used it ] Arnaud -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
