Description

Is disk resize supported for vz driver?

I can't find a clear statement in README or FAQ documents, which seems imply it's supported? I tried below steps but the volume is not increased, although the disk allocation of the VM is changed. Is there any additional steps required to resize volume? (And can those steps be documented?)

Or is it true according to #817 that disk resize is not supported for vz driver? If so can it also be documented in README or FAQ?

Thanks!

Output of colima status

Reproduction Steps

  1. colima stop
  2. colima start --edit - Followed https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#how-can-disk-size-be-increased to increase the disk size from 60GB to 100GB.
  3. run colima list to check vm status, which shows 100GB:
colima list
PROFILE    STATUS     ARCH       CPUS    MEMORY    DISK      RUNTIME    ADDRESS
default    Running    aarch64    2       4GiB      100GiB    docker
  1. run colima ssh -- df -h /usr/local to check volume size, which still shows 60GB:
colima ssh -- df -h /usr/local
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root        58G   53G  4.4G  93% /

Expected behaviour

The volume size of the VM is increased to 100GB.

Seems to work here if qemu is installed. Upon resize it says: unable to resize disk: qemu-img not found, run 'brew install qemu' to install context=vm. Also using vz driver and looks ok now at first sight

Yeah, supported only if qemu-img exists i.e. qemu is installed.

Installed qemu and tested it again. It works as expected now.
