There is no reason to do that. That said, if that's what you want
to do, the performance hit is all yours. :-)<br>

It is a good idea to install "full-featured" VMs with a minimum of
25 GB of space, all on a single / partition, and as I mentioned in
my previous email, on top of LVM. This gives you a great deal of
flexibility should you need to grow later—in fact, it's one of the
major reasons behind the existence of LVM.<br>

This is difficult for a number of reasons.<br>
<br>
When an operating system is installed on a hard disk—physical or
virtual—it comes with partition tables and partitions on it. For
BIOS partitions, the partition table exists at the beginning of the
disk. For GPT-formatted disks, which should be used by modern
systems, there are <b>two</b> copies of the partition table—one at
the beginning of the disk and one at the end of the disk.<br>
<br>
Because this is a virtual <b>HDD</b> and <b>HDD</b>s cannot be
resized, well, that's a reasonable limitation.<br>
<br>
What it boils down to is that you add disk space to a VM the same
way you do to a real host: Add a second drive and append it to your
setup (if you're using LVM), or create a second drive and move the
data over to it (hopefully putting LVM on that so that you have the
ability to grow later).<br>
