RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description daiwei 2012-03-31 04:56:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

block_resize is a useful command and virtio-blk supports this command. So, We QE think virtio-scsi also should support block_resize.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 08:14:31 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 02:04:53 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 5 Shaolong Hu 2012-10-26 05:53:10 UTC 
Verified on :

1. boot guest with:

/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -M rhel6.4.0 -m 4G -name rhel6.3-64 -rtc base=utc,clock=host,driftfix=slew -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -uuid 3f2ea5cd-3d29-48ff-aab2-23df1b6ae213 -netdev tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,id=netdev0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=netdev0,id=device-net0,mac=00:24:7E:11:22:33 -boot order=cd -monitor stdio -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -chardev socket,id=s1,path=/tmp/s1,server,nowait -device isa-serial,chardev=s1 -vnc :10 -monitor tcp::1234,server,nowait -qmp tcp:0:5555,server,nowait -chardev socket,id=qmp_monitor_id_qmpmonitor1,path=/tmp/qmp,server,nowait -mon chardev=qmp_monitor_id_qmpmonitor1,mode=control -drive file=disk,if=none,format=qcow2,id=disk1   -device virtio-scsi-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,id=scsi0 -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,drive=disk1,id=scsi1 -drive file=RHEL-Server-6.4-64-virtio.qcow2,cache=none,if=none,rerror=stop,werror=stop,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=device-virtio-disk0,bootindex=1

2. disk1 is a 10G qcow2 file, in guest "fdisk -l" shows /dev/sda size is 10G.

3. in qemu monitor:

(qemu) block_resize disk1 20G

4. reboot guest, "fdisk -l" shows /dev/sda size is 20G, on host, "qemu-img info disk1" shows disk1 virtual size is 20G.
Comment 6 Paolo Bonzini 2012-10-26 14:48:21 UTC 
Not verified.  To verify this, ensure the guest has a recent-enough kernel (kernel-2.6.32-328.el6 or newer), and check that the resize appears in dmesg *as soon as block_resize completes*.

This will let you verify both this bug and bug 840458.
Comment 7 Qunfang Zhang 2012-11-24 06:49:59 UTC 
Reproduced on a rhel6.3 released host and guest.
kernel-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.x86_64

1.Boot a guest with an virtio-scsi disk.
 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -M rhel6.3.0 -m 2G -smp 2 -name rhel6.3-64 -rtc base=utc,clock=host,driftfix=slew -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -uuid 3f2ea5cd-3d29-48ff-aab2-23df1b6ae213 -netdev tap,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,id=netdev0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=netdev0,id=device-net0,mac=00:24:7E:11:22:33 -boot order=cd -monitor stdio -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -chardev socket,id=s1,path=/tmp/s1,server,nowait -device isa-serial,chardev=s1 -vnc :10 -monitor tcp::1234,server,nowait -qmp tcp:0:5555,server,nowait -chardev socket,id=qmp_monitor_id_qmpmonitor1,path=/tmp/qmp,server,nowait -mon chardev=qmp_monitor_id_qmpmonitor1,mode=control -drive file=disk.qcow2,if=none,format=qcow2,id=disk1   -device virtio-scsi-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,id=scsi0 -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,drive=disk1,id=scsi1 -drive file=RHEL-Server-6.3-64-virtio.qcow2,cache=none,if=none,rerror=stop,werror=stop,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=device-virtio-disk0,bootindex=1

2. (qemu)block_resize disk1 20G

Result: 
(1) fdisk -l inside guest shows no change. 
(2) dmesg in guest: no block resize related message appear.

Verified on: kernel-2.6.32-342.el6.x86_64 (both host and guest)
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.331.el6.x86_64

Result: 
After the above step 2:

[root@unused ~]# dmesg 
sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] 41943040 512-byte logical blocks: (21.4 GB/20.0 GiB)
sda: detected capacity change from 10737418240 to 21474836480
[root@unused ~]# 
[root@unused ~]# fdisk -l
.....
Disk /dev/sda: 21.5 GB, 21474836480 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 20480 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Tested both raw and qcow2 format, both passed. 
So this bug is fixed.
