You should be able only to extend disk size, not shrinking it. There was an idea to integrate virt-sprsify for thin provisioned disks, (see http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/org/google/gsoc2014/utkar...) although this is not supported yet. regards, Maor On 04/04/2014 10:54 AM, Yusufi M R wrote:
