On a dedicated server installed with XCP I'm trying to upload a 3Gb ISO (and would like the option of adding more).
However it's ending up in a 4Gb partition (/dev/sda1).. well some of it obviously - before it runs out of space.
I have a couple of questions:
1) When that 4Gb partition becomes full (or pretty close) any virtual harddrive on the server either becomes corrupt or lost - why is this?
2) For safety sake should the 4Gb partition be enlarged - is this possible without messing up the booting process - or completely unnecessary?
3) What do I need to be doing to upload ISOs to a larger partition?
I understand these questions are simple matters to many here but some guidance would be appreciated

That sounds like a bug in XCP =\.EvilCensor wrote:1) When that 4Gb partition becomes full (or pretty close) any virtual harddrive on the server either becomes corrupt or lost - why is this?
It would be easier/better to mount another partition and use it to store the .iso, most likely. To do this, you would probably need to turn off your VMs and resize a storage repository in order to make room. I believe they use LVM for these, which should make this possible.2) For safety sake should the 4Gb partition be enlarged - is this possible without messing up the booting process - or completely unnecessary?
Once you have the larger partition available, you can make its mount point match the existing .iso directory, allowing you to upload in the same manner and have it go there.3) What do I need to be doing to upload ISOs to a larger partition?
