Description Sibiao Luo 2013-12-02 07:05:10 UTC
Description of problem:
we should disable and give friendly error warning message if not support block_resize for libiscsi storage disk or fix it to work well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
3.10.0-10.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-20.el7.x86_64
seabios-1.7.2.2-4.el7.x86_64
guest info:
rhel6.5-32bit

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.prepare a libiscsi storage(My libiscsi storage is about 30G here).
2.boot guest with this libiscsi storage.
e.g:/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -M pc -cpu SandyBridge -enable-kvm...-drive file=iscsi://10.66.6.82:3260/iqn.2013-11.com.example:storage.disk1.juli.xyz/2,if=none,id=drive-data-disk,format=raw,cache=none,serial="QEMU-DISK" -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,drive=drive-data-disk,id=data-disk -iscsi id=iqn-sluo
3.do block_resize via HMP/QMP monitor.

Actual results:
after step 3,
It fail to do enlarging images and the message not very correctly, like:
(qemu) block_resize drive-data-disk 50G
Could not resize: Invalid argument

{ "execute": "block_resize", "arguments": { "device": "drive-data-disk", "size": 53687091200 }}
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Could not resize: Invalid argument"}}

If do shrinking images, it can run the shrinking command correctly, but it did not make effect in guest which not detect the logical block changes.
(qemu) block_resize drive-data-disk 10G
(qemu) 

{ "execute": "block_resize", "arguments": { "device": "drive-data-disk", "size": 10737418240 }}
{"return": {}}

Expected results:
we should disable and give more friendly error warning message if not support block_resize for libiscsi storage disk or fix it to work well.

Comment 2 Paolo Bonzini 2013-12-02 10:27:57 UTC
Similar to logical volumes, you need to enlarge the LUN first on the iSCSI target.  You can then issue "block_resize" with the new capacity.
