Description of problem: Looks like when encrypted && clear volumes attached to an instance , both sharing the same lsblk disk size. When extending the volume in use , the size of the encrypted volume bigger than the clear one , [Titan92 setup with a fix for permission issue] Why ? # created two volumes empty , 1 clear size = 1G , 1 encrypted with luks size = 1G Created an instance and attached both the instance From lsblk -lb $ lsblk -lb NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT vda 253:0 0 2147483648 0 disk vda1 253:1 0 2138029568 0 part / vda15 253:15 0 8388608 0 part vdb 253:16 0 1073741824 0 disk vdc 253:32 0 1073741824 0 disk ### It looks like both disk sharing the same size # nova extend command for both: cinder --os-volume-api-version 3.59 extend 537ae37f-ec46-4259-8215-048606c7f964 2 cinder --os-volume-api-version 3.59 extend 83c20fa9-244a-4875-9f28-b5e323d559c9 2 (overcloud) [stack@undercloud-0 tempest]$ cinder list +--------------------------------------+--------+--------------------+------+-------------+----------+--------------------------------------+ | ID | Status | Name | Size | Volume Type | Bootable | Attached to | +--------------------------------------+--------+--------------------+------+-------------+----------+--------------------------------------+ | 537ae37f-ec46-4259-8215-048606c7f964 | in-use | unencrypted volume | 2 | tripleo | false | 73a4f6c2-d64e-496a-864b-a75293136092 | | 83c20fa9-244a-4875-9f28-b5e323d559c9 | in-use | encrypted volume | 2 | LUKS | false | 73a4f6c2-d64e-496a-864b-a75293136092 | +--------------------------------------+--------+--------------------+------+-------------+----------+--------------------------------------+ # checking lsblk size on instance: $ lsblk -nlb vda 253:0 0 2147483648 0 disk vda1 253:1 0 2138029568 0 part / vda15 253:15 0 8388608 0 part vdb 253:16 0 2147483648 0 disk vdc 253:32 0 2145415168 0 disk When tested on netapp backend , attached encrypted volume size is not the same as clear volume .
