This question on -users prompted me to look for our "Resizing Volumes" section. I discovered that it is missing, along with the entire "Working with Volumes" section. All the files are in the repo's docs directory already, so I think it's just an oversight.
Before I file a bug and add this info back in, I wonder whether anyone remembers deciding on purpose to leave this info out? Or has someone perhaps rewritten this and put it in another part of the docs? The missing section covers: What is a volume Uploading an existing volume to a VM Attaching a volume to a VM Detaching a volume from one VM and attaching it to a different one Moving volumes from one storage pool to another Resizing volumes (using VHD) How deleting a volume affects snapshots (it doesn't) How to configure garbage collection of deleted volumes Jessica T. -----Original Message----- > From: Clayton Weise [mailto:cwe...@iswest.net] > Sent: Friday, February 15, 2013 1:33 PM > To: cloudstack-us...@incubator.apache.org > Subject: RE: customising the ROOT disk > > Not that I'm recommending or endorsing this method but we have done it in > the past.
