I agree that an options should be added here to avoid undesirable disk
shrinking.
Because I have broken guest OS image for several times due to the shrinking
of
blockresize.

the behavior of blockresize API and may cause unexpected error in uplayer
products.
It is better to add the check to codes of **virsh** to avoid undesirable
shrinking
in cmdline user. And we can use '--force' to make blockresize always.
The procedure will be:
if (new size < capacity && no --force)
print error("Can't shrink capacity below current unless --force
specified")
else
call blockresize
And also we can add comments to blockresize API to avoid uplayer use
undesirable disk shrinking.
