Background : - Need to create addition 40G storage for VM guest.

  1. I have created new KVM - VM guest on RHEL 5.8 server hosting server.
  2. Hosting server has occupied all size with LV and there is not space to create new LV.
  3. I tried to achieve this requirement by creating 40G file size and mounted as filesystem but no luck for me.
    Is there any way to create 40G storage for VM gust. virsh or virt-manager command to do the same ?

Thanks !:slight_smile:

A few questions to help us all first:-

  • Where do you get your storage for the VM from?
  • What did you allocate it the VM?
  • What can you see with the fdisk command?
  • Are you using LVM?
  • Do you have multiple volume groups, or is it all just one big one?

There may be more questions to follow.

Sorry about that,
Robin
