When expanding guest image I can only see the following message:
Updating Disk
my.host.tld
Updating virtual disk on /home/servers/my.host.tld.img ..
and no progress bar unfortunately. The only evidence that some process is still going on is circling sign on my browser tab. It would be very nice if Cloudmin could show some progress bar. Taking into consideration that the initial and desired sizes of the guest image under operation are known factors, I believe it is possible to reflect the resizing process' progress on some kind of progress bar. At least that is what alternative to Cloudmin web-based virtualization UIs can provide. So I thought if others can do this why Cloudmin can't?

A progress base is actually kind of tricky to implement in this case, as it is the filesystem expansion that is slow and the resize2fs command that Cloudmin uses which is slow. And it doesn't produce any progress output that we can use.
However, I will modify that page to product progress "dots" that indicate that something is being done during a disk resize.

Just a thought here, if you include a standard space character (as opposed to the html entity no-break space) after the period then the line of dots will break at the edge of the page and wrap around in the web gui, if you leave only dots, then it becomes one long unwrappable word and causes a scroll bar to apear in the frame, making it impossible to judge the length of time relative to others in the process without user interaction. a very small change to code giving a big plus to the wait dots in the gui - or at least thats my thought on it...

I second Franco Nogarin's request as I tried new feature and it makes the page very wide and uncomfortable.

That's a good idea .. I will add the space.

this worked so well you should use it in other places in the GUI such as:
Copying 5.52 GB CD image to host system smvmhost64 .....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Good point - I'll fix that up for the next release.
