Re: Increase root disk size in latest cloudstack
Hi Erik, Seems like its the only way to do that. So I created a another data-disk and attached it to the VM. But still the df command shows me same information.

Re: Increase root disk size in latest cloudstack
If you're using some sort of logical volume manager inside the vm you can add an additional disk and resize it. For Linux the most common is LVM, for Windows I believe you have to use dynamic disks (not sure about support for booting from dynamic disks?). -- Erik On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 9:12 AM, Asanka sanjaya Herath wrote: > Hi Erik, > > I'm using xenserver.

Re: Increase root disk size in latest cloudstack
Hi Erik, I'm using xenserver. So I think I will not be able to do that. One of my instance is running out of root disk capacity. I took a snapshot of that disk and created a template from it. Then I crated a new instance and still it has the same disk capacity. What can I do now?

Re: Increase root disk size in latest cloudstack
The design spec is here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Root+Resize+Support You can find the Jira ticket with a lot of information here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6181 As far as I can see, you can atleast resize the disk by using the API. UI tends to lag a bit behind new API functionality, so I would hope for it to arrive in a later version. But, after reading through the ticket it seems that root disk resize might only be supported on KVM, which hypervisor are you using? -- Erik On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 8:31 AM, Asanka sanjaya Herath wrote: > Hi Erik, > I'm using the master branch.

Hi Erik, I'm using the master branch. Could you please tell me how can I do that? Thank you.

I believe root disk resizing has been there since 4.4, but it might be lacking if you're using managed storage. Mike can probably chime in on the latter -- Erik
Increase root disk size in latest cloudstack
I'm using the latest cloudstack(Cloned from github and built from source). I need to know whether there is any way to re-size the root disk capacity after creating the instance.(Using UI or using api). -- Thanks, Regards, ASH
