Hi,
this time all worked, I've choose to format the partition ext2 and not
ext3 ... system is now installed and updated to debian unstable, network
works ... YEAH :)
But the partition was to small :/ so I msut do it again.
where your partition file is xx.file
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1000 >> xx.file (will add an extra gig to the file
size)
From within the VM, booting off a floppy or other image file.
fdisk /dev/xxx and delete then re-create the parition with the same starting block but to fill the
rest of the partition.
e2resize /dev/xxx (whatever you use).
I did a dodgy by copying my image.
Loading both of them in qemu, expanding the non-mounted second one, then restarting the vm with the
second one as the root disk.
Schweet Moite!
Save you a full re-install.
(Works for UML's too)
