You don't actually need any cloning for that. You can simply extend the size of the image with: dd if=/dev/zero of=hurd.img count=1 bs=1 seek=6000M (As Thomas already said, you have to resize the actual filesystem afterwards.) > Searching for another solution i found a special live CD named > CloneZilla.

Your problem here is with qemu images, not with Hurd. -antrik-
