[ovirt-users] [Users] Resizing bootable disk erase OS

[Yusufi M R]

I did extend the size of disk from Ovirt Admin Portal after taking VM offline. This has crashed my OS and was unable to boot.

Regards,
Yusuf

For extending the VM disk, as Dafna mentioned,  you should use the ovirt-engine webadmin (via 'edit' disk).
If you'd like to extend your OS disk, there is a nice guide for that. it's not an official guide AFAIK, but it works :)

the OS should not be erased if it's done from the webadmin.
Adding some people to this bug.

you are extending from the webadmin and not by manually sending lvresize
right?

Thanks,
Dafna
