Oh right, I see.  Are you using an ancient version of virt-resize
(ie. 1.2.<something>)?

For these very old versions of virt-resize you do need to manually
expand the filesystem inside the VM.  Just do:

 resize2fs /dev/xvda1

In more recent versions of virt-resize, virt-resize itself does this
automatically.

Not sure what you're trying to do, but try using guestfish:

 guestfish --ro -i Fedora12-1

Rich.
