Block device resize detection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi guys,

I have a KVM guest machine, lets name it VMTEST,
using an iSCSI LUN as a virtio device. Something like this:

<disk type='block' device='disk'>
   <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
   <source 
dev='/dev/disk/by-path/ip-w.x.y.z:3260-iscsi-iqn.2010-10.br.furb.inf:disk0-lun-4'/>
      <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
</disk>

On iSCSI server, if I resize this LUN, this resize is detected
on KVM host, but not on the VMTEST. The device resize is only
detected if I restart VMTEST. Is there a way to make VMTEST detect
the /dev/vda resize without restarting it?

On VMTEST I already tried commands like partprobe /dev/vda, 
hdparm -z /dev/vda and blockdev --rereadpt /dev/vda, but none of
was capable to detect the block device (/dev/vda) resize.

Thanks in advance.
