Seems like that would work. Might need to do it as root in case the
kernel doesn't allow an ordinary user to use up all the free space on
a disk. And don't forget "rm /sometempfile" once the dd finishes
with out of space errors.
Of course you could take a completely different tack and use
qemu-img convert to change the qcow2 format file to a raw
disk image and modify the virtual machine to use that new file.
I qemu-img to a raw and then back to a qcows2.
Dump/resore still did not restore right.
You can't dump a qcow file because the blocks are not in order and there
is extra metadata. You can only dump from something that looks like a
raw partition. You might be able to use something like nbd to create a
device from a qcow that looks raw.
I am switching to ".raw" files. They seems to come
back working
