RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

1 - Grab the sysprep tools from
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=11282

2 - Create a sysprep.inf file.

3 - Sysprep the WINDOWS XP SP3 Image
Copy the sysprep.inf to where you extracted sysprep.exe
i.e. c:\sysprep
then from this directory run.
sysprep -reseal -mini
wait till guest switches off.

4 - Resize the XP image.
truncate -s 40G NEW.raw
virt-resize --expand /dev/sda1 OLD.raw NEW.raw

5 - Boot image, chkdsk runs.
  - Machine reboots.
  - sysprep runs
  - machine reboots
  - boot hangs with BSOD message
  - shutdown/restart, same BSOD message.

6 - Workaround fix.
  - Shutdown guest
  - losetup /dev/loop0 NEW.raw
  - kpartx -a /dev/loop0
  - ntfsfix /dev/loop0
  - kpartx -d /dev/loop0
  - losetup -d /dev/loop0


Resizing on an NON SYSPREP image works.
Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-02-27 15:46:49 UTC 
I can reproduce this.
Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-02-27 17:36:50 UTC 
However I cannot fix it.

I added an ntfsfix binding:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2012-February/msg00109.html

I tried modifying virt-resize so that it calls ntfsfix after
resizing ntfs partitions.  However that did not fix the problem.

I also tried running ntfsfix after seeing the UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
error, however that just made the guest hang during boot.
Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-02-27 18:12:40 UTC 
I've cloned this for upstream (bug 797986).

Although I will keep looking at this bug, I don't see
any easy fix that we can implement in the next few days,
so I am (tentatively) moving this to 6.4.
Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-02-27 19:45:38 UTC 
We seem to have a fix for this (just a small doc change).
