Hi list
I've got an openSuSE11 installed on a vmwaremachine, with a number of partitions. The root partition (/), however, is too small. I need to xfer the vmware image to another vmware machine, this time making room for - and increasing the size of the root partition.
Any good strategy, hints?
The only method I know is treating it as I would on a real computer. You can add hard disks to it, boot from live CDs, copy from one HD to another (or to a network share on the host)... Using a live, you can "dd" it.
There should be a method to mount the virtual HDs on the host directly, when the VM is not running. Maybe there is. I know how to read from them, but not writing.
Same for resizing... maybe there is a method, but I dunno.

- thank you for your advise. - this is what I did... Using VMware Converter, I "converted" the vmware image to a new, bigger one. Then I booted the new image from a Live-CD with Gparted using which I was perfectly able to modify/resize the partition(s) in question.
