Nux commented on CLOUDSTACK-6181: --------------------------------- Marcus, How are you calling the API for building those machines? CURL? Can you give an example. Obviously the 4.4 UI or cloudmonkey don't support this feature and I'm at a loss trying to figure out how to do it with CURL/wget. > Root resize > ----------- > > Key: CLOUDSTACK-6181 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6181 > Project: CloudStack > Issue Type: New Feature > Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the > default.) > Components: Hypervisor Controller, Storage Controller, UI > Affects Versions: 4.4.0 > Environment: KVM/libvirt/CentOS, Xenserver > Reporter: Nux > Labels: disk, resize, template > Fix For: 4.4.0 > > > Rationale: > Currently the root size of an instance is locked to that of the template. > This creates unnecessary template duplicates, prevents the creation of a > market place, wastes time and disk space and generally makes work more > complicated. > Real life example - a small VPS provider might want to offer the following > sizes (in GB): > 10,20,40,80,160,240,320,480,620 > That's 9 offerings. > The template selection could look like this, including real disk space used: > Windows 2008 ~10GB > Windows 2008+Plesk ~15GB > Windows 2008+MSSQL ~15GB > Windows 2012 ~10GB > Windows 2012+Plesk ~15GB > Windows 2012+MSSQL ~15GB > CentOS ~1GB > CentOS+CPanel ~3GB > CentOS+Virtualmin ~3GB > CentOS+Zimbra ~3GB > CentOS+Docker ~2GB > Debian ~1GB > Ubuntu LTS ~1GB > In this case the total disk space used by templates will be 828 GB, that's > almost 1 TB. If your storage is expensive and limited SSD this can get > painful! > If the root resize feature is enabled we can reduce this to under 100 GB. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
