Hi, I read this article and found that we can expand the VM disk online but it doesn't expand the filesystem of the VM..... I tried the following but still it didn't work..all the below commands failed on the host.. I am using :- 1. Ovirt 3.4.3 2. Glusterfs 3.5 https://inthecloud.readthedocs.org/zh_CN/latest/index.html it's in Chinese but can translate here :- http://translate.google.com.hk/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=https://intheclou… Virtual Machine File System expansion <https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&prev=/sea…> oVirt 3.4 disks can be online expansion, but for the disk within a file system requires a separate support for Linux and Windows lists commonly used method in this expansion. *Linux file system expansion (libguestfs)* For details, please refer to libguestfs site <https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&prev=/sea…> . 1.

------=_Part_44946689_1427106975.1409671286440 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I have a lot of qcow2 based vm (from my kvm box) disks and I would like to copy to ovirt them. Ovirt can use qcow2 based images directly or I need to convert to raw in any case? I don't have long time for migration, the conversion process takes a long time.
