Re: [Users] Best practice to resize a WM disk image
Its just a theoretical question as I think the issue will come for us
and other users.
I think there can be one or more snapshots in the WM over the time. But
if that is an issue we can always collapse them I think.
If its a base image it should be RAW, right?
In this case its on file storage (NFS).

Hi Ricky,
In order to give you a detailed answer I need additional details regarding the disk:
- Is the disk image composed as a chain of volumes or just a base volume?
(if it's a chain it will be more complicated, you might want to collapse the chain
first to make it easier).
- Is the disk image raw? (you can use qemu-img info to check)
- Is the disk image on block or file storage?
Regards,
Yeela
