Hi
The web interface tells you that you can't.. But if you tell Proxmox
it's Linux inside instead of Windows (or you can also remove the disk,
qemu-img resize it, then add it back, then issue block_resize
disk-virtio0 blabla in the monitor), it'll allow the change and Windows
will work fine with it, afaict.
I'm not trying to make it work, I can see why it doesn't. I would like
to know the reason for having it disabled, if there's one still
standing. And have the condition altered if there's no reason to keep it ;)
Cheers
Gilles
