Hi Karel,

Thanks for the update - good to hear a report that it's working well for
you. Fingers crossed it makes it all the way to the end...

If your image is a qcow2 then it should be simple to use qemu-img to
expand the image, then boot into a suitable rescue CD in order to resize
the filesystem.
