Re: [Xen-users] Error Resize Xen File Based

Hi,

The post you cited used a flat file to store an ext3 filesystem. If
you use LVM, you need to resize the logical volume first. Here is the
whole process for you - remember to have a backup before you start!

// create the image
[root@myhost ~]# dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=100 of=loop2.img

/dev/loop1: [ca01]:901132 (/root/loop2.img)

// turn the loop device into an LV with ext3

I prefer to use this command for it:

# blkid loop2.img -s TYPE -o value
LVM2_member

Hope this helps.
