Description Allon Mureinik 2017-04-20 10:57:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
Prior to oVirt 4.1.2, reducing the target volume of a merge operation was either not done (for older 4.1 DCs), or done inefficiently (for 4.0 and below DCs, see, e.g., bug 1443147).

It may be useful to expose an API to reduce pre-existing volumes that are over-extended.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.1.z
Comment 2 Allon Mureinik 2018-04-03 13:02:27 UTC 
This is an enabler for the virt-v2v support for qcow2 in RHV. 
Moving back to 4.3, and if we need to push things out based on capacity, we need to pick others.
Comment 5 Shir Fishbain 2018-07-10 08:13:13 UTC 
Is the reduce volume available through the UI?
Comment 6 Daniel Erez 2018-07-16 06:45:54 UTC 
(In reply to Shir Fishbain from comment #5)
> Is the reduce volume available through the UI?

No, it can't be invoked manually from the UI. It's invoked either in live merge flow, or using the rest-api.
Comment 7 Shir Fishbain 2018-07-24 14:56:19 UTC 
Tested basic feature functionality:
- Called reduce volume for floating and attached to VM disks 
- Verified that reduceVolume was called on vdsm.
