=head1 Uploading raw filesystem content
You can use L<guestfish(1)> to upload whole filesystems into a VM,
even into a filesystem which is encrypted or buried inside an LV or
RAID device:
guestfish --rw -a disk.img run : upload sda1.img /dev/sda1
guestfish --rw -d Guest run : upload lv.img /dev/vg_guest/lv_root
One common problem is that the filesystem isn't the right size for the
target. If it is too large, there's not much you can do with
libguestfs - you have to prepare the filesystem differently. But if
the filesystem needs to expand into the target, you can use guestfish
to resize it to the right size:
guestfish --rw -d Guest run : \
upload lv.img /dev/vg_guest/lv_root : \
resize2fs /dev/vg_guest/lv_root
(or use C<ntfsresize> if the filesystem is NTFS).
