hi,
I am searching how to resize a virtual disk created with:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=newimage bs=1k count=5k
5120+0 records in
5120+0 records out
# vnconfig -s labels -c vn0 newimage
# disklabel -r -w vn0 auto
# newfs vn0c
Warning: 2048 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated
/dev/vn0c: 10240 sectors in 3 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 sectors
5.0MB in 1 cyl groups (16 c/g, 32.00MB/g, 1280 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
32
# mount /dev/vn0c /mnt
When I decide to add more space to this virtual disk, I would like to be able to
resize it.
The only solution I have is creating an other virtual disk and copy files before
deleting the first one. It takes a long time and two time more space than what I
want during the process.
any idea?
Cheers
Alex
