However it should be easy to shrink that. The image has 3 (boot/swap/root) partitions, where the boot partition has 32mb. If i'm correct you only have to create a new image, make 2 or 3 (depends if you need swap) partitions on it, where the first one (/boot) must have the same size like in the original image (means 32mb). Than you dd the boot partition and copy the files of the root partiton to your new image. The files should fit perfectly on a ~10gb hd too since they just need ~1,5 gb. I could try it on my own, but than i would take some time... mike On Monday 13 May 2013 18:39:17 Alexander Berntsen wrote: > On 13/05/13 18:36, Michael Mair-Keimberger wrote: > > The vm has a 50gb harddisk > > I'm not sure how KVM works with this -- is it a static file at 50G? > I'm looking for an image I can use on my SSD, so it really has to be > quite small (preferably maximum 10G). > > Thank you for the offer though, and if I can't get a small image > anywhere I could use yours via an external HDD. > -- > Alexander > alexander@plaimi.net > http://plaimi.net/~alexander
