Increasing the SYstem.img file
Attach the System.im file to Dom-0
xm block-attach 0 file:///OVS/xxxx/System.img xvda w
Resize the file
qemu-img resize xxxxx/System.img +40G
fidsk /dev/xvda
Disk /dev/xvda: 55.8 GB, 55834574848 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 53248 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

/dev/xvda3 51201 53248 2097152 83 Linux
Detach the Block storage
xm block-detach 0 xvda
Delete the partion 3 and 2 using the fdisk commands and then create a partition 2 with the start and end size as 504 51200
Similarly create a swap partition with he size 51201 53248
Restart the Oracle VM after this
Run the command
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda2 9.4G 3.1G 5.9G 34% /
tmpfs 3.0G 199M 2.8G 7% /dev/shm
/dev/xvda1 479M 49M 405M 11% /boot
/dev/xvdb 50G 6.6G 41G 15% /fmw11g
You will see the size as still 9.4G instead of 50GB ,
Resize the file to occupy the space
resize2fs -f /dev/xvda2
resize2fs 1.43-WIP (20-Jun-2013)
Filesystem at /dev/xvda2 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required
old_desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 4
The filesystem on /dev/xvda2 is now 12978432 blocks long.
fdisk -l

Enable the swap space
mkswap /dev/xvda3
swapon /dev/xvda3
To make this swap space partition available even after the reboot, add the following line to the /etc/fstab file.
# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sdc1 swap swap defaults 0 0
After this reboot the guest machine.
