Its just a theoretical question as I think the issue will come for us and other users. I think there can be one or more snapshots in the WM over the time. But if that is an issue we can always collapse them I think. If its a base image it should be RAW, right? In this case its on file storage (NFS).

Hi Ricky, In order to give you a detailed answer I need additional details regarding the disk: - Is the disk image composed as a chain of volumes or just a base volume? (if it's a chain it will be more complicated, you might want to collapse the chain first to make it easier). - Is the disk image raw? (you can use qemu-img info to check) - Is the disk image on block or file storage?

Hi,
If I have a VM that has run out of disk space, how can I increase the space in best way? One way is to add a second bigger disk to the WM and then use dd or similar to copy. But is it possible to stretch the original disk inside or outside oVirt and get oVirt to know the bigger size?
