Re: [Xen-users] resize xen disk file

Rudi,

conv=notrunc prevents dd from truncating the file. 
Normally, dd would just overwrite the file.  When using conv=notrunc,
dd will leave the existing data alone and stop taking on 0s when the
desired file size is reached.

Setting up LVM inside of a VM is the most useful in cases where you
give the VM direct disk access.  Since you have a file (or a series of
files), most of the advantages that LVM affords you are redundant.

Since
you're using LVM, you'll have to expand your LVM partitions before you
can expand the underlying EXT2 file system.  As indicated earlier in
this email chain, you can expand your LVM group via pvresize and
lvextend.

Martin,

I have no idea.  If I find something, I'll let you know.
