Hello,
I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to online extend a virtual disk (/dev/vdb) on the guest?
I checked http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Resizing_disks but I can't find the answer there.
On the proxmox host, I extended the logical volume for the data disk (it's not the vm boot/root disk but an additional data disk), but now I'm stuck at the point where I want to "rescan" the bus on the guest.
Since the virtio disk is not on the scsi bus, the usual methods to rescan the scsi bus don't work.
I even tried doing a "qemu-img resize /dev/guestdata/vm-100-disk-1 150G" on the logical volume, hoping that it would inform the guest about the new size, but no luck so far.
Anyone an idea how I can tell the guest about the new disk size without doing a reboot of the guest?
Thanks,
Frido
