You're right. the descriptive text is wrong. In fact, I was typing the bug report up very quickly. I did not want to change the size of the base image. Basically I just wanted to checkpoint my machine. So in fact, I couldn't bother less about the size and I thought qemu-img made me. But now I've

What image format is the base image? I just tested with qcow2 format and increased the size from 6g to 10g just fine (of course the file system size remained the same) kvm-img create -b Lucid_64_Base.qcow2 -f qcow2 test_img.qcow2 10G If you don't specify a format I think raw is used: kvm-img
