=head1 NAME

virt-resize - Resize a virtual machine disk

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 virt-resize [--resize /dev/sdaN=[+/-]<size>[%]]
   [--expand /dev/sdaN] [--shrink /dev/sdaN]
   [--ignore /dev/sdaN] [--delete /dev/sdaN] [...] indisk outdisk

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Virt-resize is a tool which can resize a virtual machine disk, making
it larger or smaller overall, and resizing or deleting any partitions
contained within.

Virt-resize B<cannot> resize disk images in-place.  Virt-resize
B<should not> be used on live virtual machines - for consistent
results, shut the virtual machine down before resizing it.

If you are not familiar with the associated tools:
L<virt-filesystems(1)> and L<virt-df(1)>, we recommend you go and read
those manual pages first.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Copy C<olddisk> to C<newdisk>, extending one of the guest's partitions
to fill the extra 5GB of space.

 truncate -r olddisk newdisk; truncate -s +5G newdisk
 virt-filesystems --long -h --all -a olddisk
 # Note "/dev/sda2" is a partition inside the "olddisk" file.
 virt-resize --expand /dev/sda2 olddisk newdisk

As above, but make the /boot partition 200MB bigger, while giving the
remaining space to /dev/sda2:

 virt-resize --resize /dev/sda1=+200M --expand /dev/sda2 olddisk newdisk

As above, but the output format will be uncompressed qcow2:

 qemu-img create -f qcow2 newdisk.qcow2 15G
 virt-resize --expand /dev/sda2 olddisk newdisk.qcow2

=head1 DETAILED USAGE

=head2 EXPANDING A VIRTUAL MACHINE DISK

=over 4

=item 1. Shut down the virtual machine

=item 2. Locate input disk image

Locate the input disk image (ie. the file or device on the host
containing the guest's disk).  If the guest is managed by libvirt, you
can use C<virsh dumpxml> like this to find the disk image name:

 # virsh dumpxml guestname | xpath /domain/devices/disk/source
 Found 1 nodes:
 -- NODE --
 <source dev="/dev/vg/lv_guest" />

=item 3. Look at current sizing

Use L<virt-filesystems(1)> to display the current partitions and
sizes:

 # virt-filesystems --long --parts --blkdevs -h -a /dev/vg/lv_guest
 Name       Type       Size  Parent
 /dev/sda1  partition  101M  /dev/sda
 /dev/sda2  partition  7.9G  /dev/sda
 /dev/sda   device     8.0G  -

(This example is a virtual machine with an 8 GB disk which we would
like to expand up to 10 GB).

=item 4. Create output disk

Virt-resize cannot do in-place disk modifications.  You have to have
space to store the resized output disk.

To store the resized disk image in a file, create a file of a suitable
size:

 # rm -f outdisk
 # truncate -s 10G outdisk

Or use L<lvcreate(1)> to create a logical volume:

 # lvcreate -L 10G -n lv_name vg_name

Or use L<virsh(1)> vol-create-as to create a libvirt storage volume:

 # virsh pool-list
 # virsh vol-create-as poolname newvol 10G

=item 5. Resize

virt-resize takes two mandatory parameters, the input disk (eg. device
or file) and the output disk.  The output disk is the one created in
the previous step.

 # virt-resize indisk outdisk

This command just copies disk image C<indisk> to disk image C<outdisk>
I<without> resizing or changing any existing partitions.  If
C<outdisk> is larger, then an extra, empty partition is created at the
end of the disk covering the extra space.  If C<outdisk> is smaller,
then it will give an error.

More realistically you'd want to expand existing partitions in the
disk image by passing extra options (for the full list see the
L</OPTIONS> section below).

L</--expand> is the most useful option.  It expands the named
partition within the disk to fill any extra space:

 # virt-resize --expand /dev/sda2 indisk outdisk

(In this case, an extra partition is I<not> created at the end of the
disk, because there will be no unused space).

L</--resize> is the other commonly used option.  The following would
increase the size of /dev/sda1 by 200M, and expand /dev/sda2
to fill the rest of the available space:

 # virt-resize --resize /dev/sda1=+200M --expand /dev/sda2 \
     indisk outdisk

If the expanded partition in the image contains a filesystem or LVM
PV, then if virt-resize knows how, it will resize the contents, the
equivalent of calling a command such as L<pvresize(8)>,
L<resize2fs(8)> or L<ntfsresize(8)>.  However virt-resize does not
know how to resize some filesystems, so you would have to online
resize them after booting the guest.

Other options are covered below.

=item 6. Test

Thoroughly test the new disk image I<before> discarding the old one.

If you are using libvirt, edit the XML to point at the new disk:

 # virsh edit guestname

Change E<lt>source ...E<gt>, see
L<http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsDisks>

Then start up the domain with the new, resized disk:

 # virsh start guestname

and check that it still works.  See also the L</NOTES> section below
for additional information.

=item 7. Resize LVs etc inside the guest

(This can also be done offline using L<guestfish(1)>)

Once the guest has booted you should see the new space available, at
least for filesystems that virt-resize knows how to resize, and for
PVs.  The user may need to resize LVs inside PVs, and also resize
filesystem types that virt-resize does not know how to expand.

=back

=head2 SHRINKING A VIRTUAL MACHINE DISK

Shrinking is somewhat more complex than expanding, and only an
overview is given here.

Firstly virt-resize will not attempt to shrink any partition content
(PVs, filesystems).  The user has to shrink content before passing the
disk image to virt-resize, and virt-resize will check that the content
has been shrunk properly.

(Shrinking can also be done offline using L<guestfish(1)>)

After shrinking PVs and filesystems, shut down the guest, and proceed
with steps 3 and 4 above to allocate a new disk image.

Then run virt-resize with any of the C<--shrink> and/or C<--resize>
options.

=head2 IGNORING OR DELETING PARTITIONS

virt-resize also gives a convenient way to ignore or delete partitions
when copying from the input disk to the output disk.  Ignoring a
partition speeds up the copy where you don't care about the existing
contents of a partition.  Deleting a partition removes it completely,
but note that it also renumbers any partitions after the one which is
deleted, which can leave some guests unbootable.

=head2 QCOW2 AND NON-SPARSE RAW FORMATS

If the input disk is in qcow2 format, then you may prefer that the
output is in qcow2 format as well.  Alternately, virt-resize can
convert the format on the fly.  The output format is simply determined
by the format of the empty output container that you provide.  Thus to
create qcow2 output, use:

 qemu-img create [-c] -f qcow2 outdisk [size]

instead of the truncate command (use C<-c> for a compressed disk).

Similarly, to get non-sparse raw output use:

 fallocate -l size outdisk

(on older systems that don't have the L<fallocate(1)> command use
C<dd if=/dev/zero of=outdisk bs=1M count=..>)

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=cut

my $help;

=item B<--help>

Display help.

=cut

my $version;

=item B<--version>

Display version number and exit.

=cut

my @resize;

=item B<--resize part=size>

Resize the named partition (expanding or shrinking it) so that it has
the given size.

C<size> can be expressed as an absolute number followed by
b/K/M/G/T/P/E to mean bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes,
Terabytes, Petabytes or Exabytes; or as a percentage of the current
size; or as a relative number or percentage.  For example:

 --resize /dev/sda2=10G

 --resize /dev/sda4=90%

 --resize /dev/sda2=+1G

 --resize /dev/sda2=-200M

 --resize /dev/sda1=+128K

 --resize /dev/sda1=+10%

 --resize /dev/sda1=-10%

You can increase the size of any partition.  Virt-resize will expand
the direct content of the partition if it knows how (see C<--expand>
below).

You can only I<decrease> the size of partitions that contain
filesystems or PVs which have already been shrunk.  Virt-resize will
check this has been done before proceeding, or else will print an
error (see also C<--resize-force>).

You can give this option multiple times.

=cut

my @resize_force;

=item B<--resize-force part=size>

This is the same as C<--resize> except that it will let you decrease
the size of any partition.  Generally this means you will lose any
data which was at the end of the partition you shrink, but you may not
care about that (eg. if shrinking an unused partition, or if you can
easily recreate it such as a swap partition).

See also the C<--ignore> option.

=cut

my $expand;

=item B<--expand part>

Expand the named partition so it uses up all extra space (space left
over after any other resize changes that you request have been done).

If virt-resize knows how, it will expand the direct content of the
partition.  For example, if the partition is an LVM PV, it will expand
the PV to fit (like calling L<pvresize(8)>).  Virt-resize leaves any
other content it doesn't know about alone.

Currently virt-resize can resize:

=over 4

=item *

ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystems when they are contained
directly inside a partition.

=item *

NTFS filesystems contained directly in a partition, if libguestfs was
compiled with support for NTFS.

The filesystem must have been shut down consistently last time it was
used.  Additionally, L<ntfsresize(8)> marks the resized filesystem as
requiring a consistency check, so at the first boot after resizing
Windows will check the disk.

=item *

LVM PVs (physical volumes).  virt-resize does not usually resize
anything inside the PV, but see the C<--LV-expand> option.  The user
could also resize LVs as desired after boot.

=back

Note that you cannot use C<--expand> and C<--shrink> together.

=cut

my $shrink;

=item B<--shrink part>

Shrink the named partition until the overall disk image fits in the
destination.  The named partition B<must> contain a filesystem or PV
which has already been shrunk using another tool (eg. L<guestfish(1)>
or other online tools).  Virt-resize will check this and give an error
if it has not been done.

The amount by which the overall disk must be shrunk (after carrying
out all other operations requested by the user) is called the
"deficit".  For example, a straight copy (assume no other operations)
from a 5GB disk image to a 4GB disk image results in a 1GB deficit.
In this case, virt-resize would give an error unless the user
specified a partition to shrink and that partition had more than a
gigabyte of free space.

Note that you cannot use C<--expand> and C<--shrink> together.

=cut

my @ignore;

=item B<--ignore part>

Ignore the named partition.  Effectively this means the partition is
allocated on the destination disk, but the content is not copied
across from the source disk.  The content of the partition will be
blank (all zero bytes).

You can give this option multiple times.

=cut

my @delete;

=item B<--delete part>

Delete the named partition.  It would be more accurate to describe
this as "don't copy it over", since virt-resize doesn't do in-place
changes and the original disk image is left intact.

Note that when you delete a partition, then anything contained in the
partition is also deleted.  Furthermore, this causes any partitions
that come after to be I<renumbered>, which can easily make your guest
unbootable.

You can give this option multiple times.

=cut

my @lv_expand;

=item B<--LV-expand logvol>

This takes the logical volume and, as a final step, expands it to fill
all the space available in its volume group.  A typical usage,
assuming a Linux guest with a single PV C</dev/sda2> and a root device
called C</dev/vg_guest/lv_root> would be:

 virt-resize indisk outdisk \
   --expand /dev/sda2 --LV-expand /dev/vg_guest/lv_root

This would first expand the partition (and PV), and then expand the
root device to fill the extra space in the PV.

The contents of the LV are also resized if virt-resize knows how to do
that.  You can stop virt-resize from trying to expand the content by
using the option C<--no-expand-content>.

Use L<virt-filesystems(1)> to list the filesystems in
the guest.

You can give this option multiple times, I<but> it doesn't
make sense to do this unless the logical volumes you specify
are all in different volume groups.

=cut

my $copy_boot_loader = 1;

=item B<--no-copy-boot-loader>

By default, virt-resize copies over some sectors at the start of the
disk (up to the beginning of the first partition).  Commonly these
sectors contain the Master Boot Record (MBR) and the boot loader, and
are required in order for the guest to boot correctly.

If you specify this flag, then this initial copy is not done.  You may
need to reinstall the boot loader in this case.

=cut

my $extra_partition = 1;
my $min_extra_partition = 10 * 1024 * 1024; # see below

=item B<--no-extra-partition>

By default, virt-resize creates an extra partition if there is any
extra, unused space after all resizing has happened.  Use this option
to prevent the extra partition from being created.  If you do this
then the extra space will be inaccessible until you run fdisk, parted,
or some other partitioning tool in the guest.

Note that if the surplus space is smaller than 10 MB, no extra
partition will be created.

=cut

my $expand_content = 1;

=item B<--no-expand-content>

By default, virt-resize will try to expand the direct contents
of partitions, if it knows how (see C<--expand> option above).

If you give the C<--no-expand-content> option then virt-resize
will not attempt this.

=cut

my $debug;

=item B<-d> | B<--debug>

Enable debugging messages.

=cut

my $dryrun;

=item B<-n> | B<--dryrun>

Print a summary of what would be done, but don't do anything.

=cut

my $quiet;

=item B<-q> | B<--quiet>

Don't print the summary.

=cut

my $format;

=item B<--format> raw

Specify the format of the input disk image.  If this flag is not
given then it is auto-detected from the image itself.

If working with untrusted raw-format guest disk images, you should
ensure the format is always specified.

Note that this option I<does not> affect the output format.
See L</QCOW2 AND NON-SPARSE RAW FORMATS>.

=cut

my $output_format;

=item B<--output-format> raw

Specify the format of the output disk image.  If this flag is not
given then it is auto-detected from the image itself.

If working with untrusted raw-format guest disk images, you should
ensure the format is always specified.

Note that you still need to create the output disk with the right
format.  See L</QCOW2 AND NON-SPARSE RAW FORMATS>.

=head1 NOTES

=head2 "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary."

Virt-resize aligns partitions to multiples of 64 sectors.  Usually
this means the partitions will not be aligned to the ancient CHS
geometry.  However CHS geometry is meaningless for disks manufactured
since the early 1990s, and doubly so for virtual hard drives.
Alignment of partitions to cylinders is not required by any modern
operating system.

=head2 RESIZING WINDOWS VIRTUAL MACHINES

In Windows Vista and later versions, Microsoft switched to using a
separate boot partition.  In these VMs, typically C</dev/sda1> is the
boot partition and C</dev/sda2> is the main (C:) drive.  We have not
had any luck resizing the boot partition.  Doing so seems to break the
guest completely.  However expanding the second partition (ie. C:
drive) should work.

Windows may initiate a lengthy "chkdsk" on first boot after a resize,
if NTFS partitions have been expanded.  This is just a safety check
and (unless it find errors) is nothing to worry about.

=head2 GUEST BOOT STUCK AT "GRUB"

If a Linux guest does not boot after resizing, and the boot is stuck
after printing C<GRUB> on the console, try reinstalling grub.  This
sometimes happens on older (RHEL 5-era) guests, for reasons we don't
fully understand, although we think is to do with partition alignment.

 guestfish -i -a newdisk
 ><fs> cat /boot/grub/device.map
 # check the contents of this file are sensible or
 # edit the file if necessary
 ><fs> grub-install / /dev/vda
 ><fs> exit

For more flexible guest reconfiguration, including if you need to
specify other parameters to grub-install, use L<virt-rescue(1)>.

=head1 ALTERNATIVE TOOLS

There are several proprietary tools for resizing partitions.  We
won't mention any here.

L<parted(8)> and its graphical shell gparted can do some types of
resizing operations on disk images.  They can resize and move
partitions, but I don't think they can do anything with the contents,
and they certainly don't understand LVM.

L<guestfish(1)> can do everything that virt-resize can do and a lot
more, but at a much lower level.  You will probably end up
hand-calculating sector offsets, which is something that virt-resize
was designed to avoid.  If you want to see the guestfish-equivalent
commands that virt-resize runs, use the C<--debug> flag.

=head1 SHELL QUOTING

Libvirt guest names can contain arbitrary characters, some of which
have meaning to the shell such as C<#> and space.  You may need to
quote or escape these characters on the command line.  See the shell
manual page L<sh(1)> for details.
