Implement shrinking disk for libvirt
The current implementation of libvirt for openstack does not resize the disk down during a scale down of an instance that requires a disk resize, it just skips this step silently. (https:/
We need to add this feature to the driver libvirt.
There is a discuss on: https:/
"""About the risk of the implementation, in the workflow of a resize, every modifications on the disk are doing in a copy. The user is asked to check if all run well: during this step the user can check the console-log and connect itself on the instance to check if all is OK.
if all is ok he just have to confirm the resize (resize-confirm).
if something wrong he can do a revert (resize-revert)
The implementation of xenapi seems to support this feature. For vmware, it is not implemented yet (only extend)."""
