The problem is virt-resize: It does some calculations using long integers, and these aren't possible in 32 bit Perl (or more precisely, 32 bit Perl will convert these calculations to double, which means they won't be accurate). You can try removing the 32 bit test from /usr/bin/virt-resize. It should run, but the results of the resize aren't guaranteed to work. The only other issue I'm aware of with libguestfs and 32 bit processors is that not many 32 bit processors had support for hardware virt, so it'll be a bit slow (but should still work). One of these days I'll rewrite virt-resize in OCaml ... Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.

Edit /usr/bin/virt-resize with your favorite editor, remove the following two lines, save it, and run it again. die __"virt-resize: sorry this program does not work on a 32 bit host\n" if ~1 == 4294967294; Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones <http://people.redhat.com/%7Erjones> Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 80 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#) http://cocan.org/getting_started_with_ocaml_on_red_hat_and_fedora

What went wrong is it's not guaranteed to work on 32 bit! Try using a 64 bit host.
