If you are not using LVM you might be better off creating a brand new image > 7G and then copying the files from the existing image into the new image. The, once that is complete, simply boot into the new, larger image. I am not sure how to otherwise increase an image based installations storage space unless you are using LVM (which you said you are not).<br>

Hi,<br>
I tried the steps described in the link u sent me..<br>
but at the end I am getting the following error:<br>
<br>
$>lvextend -L+3G /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00<br>

My Fedora-8 guest is running following:<br>

The last few lines of /var/log/messages (after<br>
attempting to "lvextend" the logical volume), as<br>

Will appreciate any further feedback.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I googled on "reload ioctl failed: Invalid<br>
argument",found a few hits describing this to be a<br>
possibly kernel or DM bug.<br>
