    Just requesting some additional details.

    1. I assume you are using the fog trunk version, what is the git version (from the cloud on management page)
    2. What is the actual physical size of the disk you captured. (Thinking FOG did a raw capture and not a resizeable capture)
    3. What was the disk os format of the disk you caputred (ext3, ext4, xfs, etc)?

    Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

      1. git 7009
      2. HDD 80GB (I think like you its look like a raw image, half compressed)
      3. LVM partition and ext4 file format

      Fog 1.5.9.138
      Debian 11
      Vmware ESXi

        @Matthieu-Jacquart That’s the issue. LVM is not recognized so cannot be resized.

            @Matthieu-Jacquart Correct. I don’t have a viable method to detecting LVM at the moment. If given enough time I’m sure we could figure out how to mount the LVM and resize based on the LVM data, but I don’t think it will be anytime soon. We might even (given even more time) be able to shrink/resize LVM partitions themselves, though I suspect it would be needed to do the Volume as a whole, not the volume container itself.

              @Tom-Elliott Then with compress at level 7. The best he can squeeze that 80GB disk down to is about 53GB. (asking not telling).

              If that is true, then the only way to change the image size is to 1. Increase the compression ratio (with marginal success) or 2) remove LVM and just use native ext3 or ext4 partitions.

                @george1421 Remove LVM would be the only way to do this properly.

                Raw imaging captures the disk as whole/partition as whole. (even though the data may take MUCH less room).

                  Ok, I know what I have to do, so bad…
                  We are agree that compression ratio 7 will produce image smaller that compression ration 1 ?

                    @Matthieu-Jacquart Correct. Compression 9 is better than 1. However, the difference between 7-9 is nearly negligible.

                      Knowing what we know now, has this issue been solved? OR do you want to wait until you can rebuild the image without LVM.

                      Just trying to do a bit of house cleaning.
