While the main storage driver code allows the flag VIR_STORAGE_VOL_RESIZE_SHRINK to be set, none of the backend drivers are supporting it. At the very least this can work for plain file based volumes since we just ftruncate() them to the new size. It does not work with qcow2 volumes, but we can arguably delegate to qemu-img for error reporting for that instead of second guessing this for ourselves: $ virsh vol-resize --shrink /home/berrange/VirtualMachines/demo.qcow2 2G error: Failed to change size of volume 'demo.qcow2' to 2G error: internal error: Child process (/usr/bin/qemu-img resize /home/berrange/VirtualMachines/demo.qcow2 2147483648) unexpected exit status 1: qemu-img: qcow2 doesn't support shrinking images yet qemu-img: This image does not support resize See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1021802
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
