RAW / Qcow disk image online resizing

[Charles Koprowski <charles@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Is it possible to expand the disk capacity of a domU that uses a RAW or Qcow disk image?

I usually do this with domUs whose disks are LVM volumes using lvextend from the dom0 and then resize2fs from the domU.

But when I extend a RAW or Qcow image with qemu-img extend, the new disk size is not propagated to the domU until the next reboot.

Thank you

Regards,
