Hi Marcus, devs, Can you also please clarify the following:
- what hypervisor platforms are supported with 4.1? - does this require a reboot of the VM? - Is this statement from the FS still accurate/implemented? "volume resize will be allowed between disk offerings with the same storage tag. for example, if an admin has defined a 5GB and a 10GB disk offering, a user can upgrade from the 5GB to the 10GB. If the admin has made a custom-sized disk offering available, then resize will work simply by specifying a new, larger size. Additionally, a data volume can be moved from a static disk offering to a custom disk offering with the size specified" - what platforms support downsizing the volume, if any? If downsized, what happens to the data? - It would also be nice to see a short example write up of what needs to be done in the guest OS to make this work.. Thanks a lot!

Hi Marcus/Talluri I snatched this feature from Jessica :-) Could you please explain me the functionality of the Shrink OK button on the Resize Volume popup ?

That is interesting. Has anyone written the resizing volumes section? I saw a task for it but nobody assigned.
