[ovirt-users] Recognize HE iSCSI volume size change

[Chris Adams]

I did see that page, but... I can't get there from here.  I can't get
upgraded from 3.5 until I get past this problem, and on 3.5, the hosted
engine storage domain isn't included in the normal UI at all.

I think I did get this working though; both servers had kernel messages
that they saw the LUN resize, but they didn't actually change the block
device size to reflect that.  After rebooting each server (separately),
lsblk showed the new size on both, and a manual pvresize on both shows
the increased VG size.

On to testing 3.6 upgrade again!
