[PVE-User] Shrink qemu raw image...

[Gilberto Nunes]

So, inside the VM I managed to reduce the LVM and the Filesystem...
But, when I try to use qemu-img resize, perhaps I mistake something,
because the crash down in kernel panic, 'cause not found and partitions,
even the LVM!

Are you sure that gparted live iso is safe???

Thanks
