[Thincrust-devel] AOS Raw Disk Issues

[Paul Tiseo]

I don't know if this is its intended use, I have been trying to use the 
Fedora 10 AOS raw disk to build a minimal VM. Of course, when an AOS 
instance is fired up, there isn't much room to modify anything; the disk 
is about 98% full.

So, I tried to add space by doing:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=F10-x86_64-AOS-sda.raw bs=1 count=1 seek=5G
or, slower:
# dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=5120 >> F10-x86_64-AOS-sda.raw

The VM still starts as expected. I then fire up a VM with a gparted iso 
in the CDROM, with the goal of extending the current partition into the 
appended empty space.

After resizing, the VM doesn't boot anymore. If I use parted, instead of 
gparted, it complains that I should run e2fsck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
