Resize disk produces error

"Warning - this disk cannot be safely resized. Cloudmin does not know what type of filesystem this disk contains, and so cannot properly resize it. This is most likely because the disk is not mounted on the virtual system."

But, the disk is mounted on the virtual system (it's the root filesystem of the running vm). So, I'm not sure what it means.

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Sounds like an error identifying the mount point of the virtual disk.

Let me know which VM this is, and I'll login and take a look ... or alternately, post the contents of the system's /etc/fstab file and the output from cloudmin list-disks --host the-vms-hostname --multiline

I can give you a quick work-around - in /etc/fstab , change that UUID= line to /dev/vda1 .

The problem is that Cloudmin cannot currently work out from a disk image which partitions have which UUIDs. But that should be fixable .. I will look into it.

This will be fixed properly in the next Cloudmin release. Till then, fix the /etc/fstab file as described above, shut down and then expand the disk.
