Resizing a KVM Windows virtual disk image

Just noticed the incoming link from Bryan Murdock on how he went through the process of resizing a Windows virtual image in a qcow2 file format to add more disk space on the virtual image. I haven’t actually done this myself, but it looks like there are issues resizing an image that has an NTFS filesystem. If you need to resize your image, check out Bryan’s post on how he did it here. (I like his method better than others)

I also found a good wiki page (I think it’s new) showing the guest OS’s that work (or don’t work) with KVM.
