I wanted to resize the disk of a VM, running Windows7, inside virt-manager. virt-filesystems recognizes the partitions correctly: $ virt-filesystems --long -h -a w7-devel40.img Name Type VFS Label Size Parent /dev/sda1 filesystem ntfs System Reserved 100M - /dev/sda2 filesystem ntfs - 60G - But when I would resize sda2 from 60G to 90G, I get an error: $ truncate -s 90G test.img $ virt-resize --expand /dev/sda2 w7-devel40.img test.img Examining w7-devel40.img ... Fatal error: exception Guestfs.Error("lvm_set_filter: open: /tmp/lvmiUFSBa/lvm/lvm.conf: No such file or directory") I installed guestfs-tools using sudo zypper -p http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_12.3/ in guestfs-tools $ rpm -q guestfs-tools guestfs-tools-1.20.4-3.2.x86_64 At the end I worked around the issue by booting a Fedora 18 Live usb stick, and there the above command worked just fine. What is interesting is the guestfs version seems to be the same on the working Live system: $ rpm -q libguestfs-tools libguestfs-tools-1.20.4-1.fc18.x86_64 So either this is an error in some underlying tool (and virt-resize is just the messenger) or one would guess it's a packaging error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above, just run truncate + virt-resize. Actual Results: Fatal error: exception Guestfs.Error("lvm_set_filter: open: /tmp/lvmiUFSBa/lvm/lvm.conf: No such file or directory") Expected Results: Message reporting the resize was successful. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
