I can only think of creating a smaller qcow file, clonning using dd the contents of the oversized qcow/raw HD to that newly qcow file...although is not the best solution. Maybe someone else could bring a better solution because there's no much info on KVM just a little under Xen... :( -- Linux User #452368 http://twitter.com/vpadro "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves" _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
