I'm not a Xen guru (or any other guru for that matter) and I haven't used FC6. However, I have documented detailed procedures for expanding a DomU on FC5 at the following HowTo on XenSource. In a nutshell, I added a partition to the DomU using fdisk within the guest environment and then used LVM to expand the existing logical partition that contained the root filesystem.

Skip down to the section labeled "Expand A Guest Domain's Disk Space And Filesystem".

Hi gurus
I have setup XEN using FC6 and used raw disk as disk storage for DomU instead of using disk image.
I have already resize the LV on Dom0 which DomU uses and restarted DomU but still DomU sees the old size..
I would like to ask help on the procedure on resizing DomU
Thanks much
