Cool :)

I did some testing, but I was unable to resize my test image. Is this  
stuff actually functional?

I applied the patch to the git repository (latest commit  
50d2af4f8541a81d047753d7d300804ff649230c)

Input image looks like this:

             Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
fedora-12-kvm.img1   *           1         261     2096451   83  Linux

I used 'virt-resize --expand /dev/vda1 fedora-12-kvm.img test.img' to  
resize it. The resulting image had no partitions at all.

Thanks
