But it must be something to do with ntfsresize not being able to understand the NTFS format, for some reason, I don't know what exactly. There are a couple of things you can do: (1) Avoid the ntfsresize step entirely by using the virt-resize --no-expand-content flag. This just avoids the error; it doesn't actually help you to resize the content in that partition. And/or: (2) Use virt-rescue on the resized guest and try doing the ntfsresize operation on the filesystem by hand: virt-rescue -a /dev/vgpool/wintest2 [..] You'll probably get some sort of error from that command, but it should at least print out more information about what's going on this time. I'd be interested to know what the error message is. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
