What I'm trying to find out is why the ntfsresize utility is failing when it is being run under virt-resize, since it is not printing any error message but is returning a non-zero error code. By running it under virt-rescue, you can test ntfsresize and also see the full errors. I think this is the problem. In virt-resize 1.20 and above you can use ``virt-resize --ntfsresize-force'' which has the same effect as passing the -f option to ntfsresize: --ntfsresize-force Pass the --force option to ntfsresize(8), allowing resizing even if the NTFS disk is marked as needing a consistency check. You have to use this option if you want to resize a Windows guest multiple times without booting into Windows between each resize. However I am not sure if this is safe. You will have to ask the ntfs-3g community whether running ntfsresize on a partition that is marked as needing chkdsk is in fact safe, or if you are going to have other problems from doing this.
