Unable resize disk converter

Hello,

I try to cold converter a linux machine. When I select the option "Select volumes and resize to save or add space" I can view all the partitioons and disk but the colum "New disk space" is grey color.

I don't change the size of the disk.

I do a hot clone in windows machine and I don't have any problem.

What is the probem?

Thanks.

Volume-based cloning that allows you to resize volumes is only supported for Windows, not Linux.

Converter won't let you resize Linux disks. You'll need to use something else to do that. Linux dd, perhaps?
