KVM disk image resize error

[cakamen]

Hi,

I am using
qemu-img resize vm-103-disk-1.raw +100G
It's OK. (image resized)

But, step 2 error.

lvresize -L+1G /dev/xxxxxx/diskimage (example command)

I am using
lvresize -L+100G /dev/vm-103-disk-1.raw/diskimage
Volume group "vm-103-disk-1.raw" not found

What is problem?

If you read my guide in the forum there is an updated guide here

http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Resizing_disks

The lvresize command should only used if you use a LVM storage backend instead of files (which you use).

But you would need to resize the partitions and filesystems in the guest system now.

Best regards

lvresize -L+1G /dev/xxxxxx/diskimage (original command)

What xxxxxx?
My image name: vm-103-disk-1.raw

How do I use?

You should NOT use it. You have already resized your disk.

It is only used IF
"In case of a remote disk on LVM storage " - in that case xxx is btw the lvm volumegroup name.

and resize partition 2 before to use the whole disk (and restart the VM because the kernel use the old partition due the vg on the partition).
