- Mount image's Partition (to edit boot-script :: rc.local)
# kpartx -a /dev/nbd0
# mount /dev/mapper/nbd0p1 /mnt/
- Apply Parition to VM (by resize2fs)
# echo 'resize2fs /dev/vda1; sed -i \"/resize2fs/d\" /etc/rc.local' >> /mnt/etc/rc.local
[End]
Booting VM with new image
[Appendix]
- Disconnect kpartx & NBD
# umount /mnt
# kpartx -d /dev/nbd0
# qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
