Hi Rich,

and used below set of commands :-
Virtual Machine File System expansion
<
https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&...
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

.
1. View disk
# Virt-filesystem --all --long -h -a hda.img
1. Expansion disk copy to be created, while the expansion of 10G
(Assuming the original disk size is 10G)
For RAW format:
# Truncate -r hda.img hda-new.img
# Truncate -s + 10G hda-new.img
For QCOW2 and other compressed formats:
# Qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation = metadata hda-new.img 20G
1. Extended partition size
Ordinary extended partition, / boot partition expansion 200M, all the rest
to the / partition:
# Virt-resize --resize / dev / sda1 = + 200M --expand / dev / sda2
hda.img hda-new.img
LVM partition expansion, expansion lv_root logical volume:
# Virt-resize --expand / dev / sda2 --LV-expand / dev / vg_livecd /
lv_root hda.qcow2 hda-new.qcow2
Thanks,
Punit

Which article?
virt-resize can only be used for offline expansion of disks.
If you used virt-resize, what precise commands did you type and
what exact errors did you see?

virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any
software inside the virtual machine. Supports Linux and Windows.
