[BlueOnyx:12142] Re: Increasing disk space

[Christoph Schneeberger]

Hi

I'd recommend not increasing the existing disks size but instead adding 
a second virtual one to the VM and then just add it to the LVM volume 
group and then grow the volume - both are doable while the system is 
online.
Growing the main disk may certainly be possible too, but you need to 
boot from an emergency CD/system and first grow the partition and then 
the filesystem and there is some room for great havoc to happen with 
that while the approach with a new disk is pretty fail-safe.

Hth,
Christoph
