5 virt-resize-ui - Graphical interface for virt-resize
9 virt-resize-ui [--options]
13 C<virt-resize-ui> is a graphical interface for the command line
14 L<virt-resize(1)> program. It enables many of the features of
15 C<virt-resize> through a guided, interactive interface.
17 In most cases you can just run C<virt-resize-ui> and follow the
20 C<virt-resize-ui> does not I<need> to run as root, but it may have to
21 access disk images that can only be read or created as root (for
22 example to read virtual machines or do C<lvcreate>). If you only want
23 to resize disk images stored as files in your home directory then root
34 Add I<file> which should be a disk image. You can supply multiple
35 disk images by repeating this option.
37 The format of the disk image is auto-detected. To override this and
38 force a particular format use the I<--format=..> option.
42 =item B<--connect> URI
44 If using libvirt, connect to the given I<URI>. If omitted, then we
45 connect to the default libvirt hypervisor.
47 If you specify guest block devices directly (I<-a>), then libvirt is
52 =item B<--domain> guest
54 Add all the disks from the named libvirt guest.
58 =item B<--format qcow2>
62 The default for the I<-a> option is to auto-detect the format of the
63 disk image. Using this forces the disk format for I<-a> options which
64 follow on the command line. Using I<--format ""> (an empty string
65 argument) switches back to auto-detection for subsequent I<-a>
70 virt-resize-ui --format raw -a disk.img
72 forces raw format (no auto-detection) for C<disk.img>.
74 virt-resize-ui --format raw -a disk.img --format "" -a another.img
76 forces raw format (no auto-detection) for C<disk.img> and reverts to
77 auto-detection for C<another.img>.
79 If you have untrusted raw-format guest disk images, you should use
80 this option to specify the disk format. This avoids a possible
81 security problem with malicious guests (CVE-2010-3851).
87 Enable verbose messages for debugging.
93 Display version number and exit.
97 Enable tracing of libguestfs API calls.
