Hi,all
I find it is important that live-resize the instance in production
environment,especially live downsize the disk.And we have talked it many
years.But I don't know why the bp[1] didn't approved.Can you tell me more about
this ?Thank you very much.

It's been reviewed a number of times...I thought it was going to get approved
for Rocky, but I think it didn't quite make it in...you'd have to ask the nova
cores why not.
It should be noted though that the above live-resize spec explicitly did not
cover resizing smaller, only larger.
From what I find in the PTG notes [1] and the spec, it looks like this
didn't go forward for lack of general interest. We have a lot of work to
review every cycle and we generally focus on functionality that impact
operators the most and look for +1s on specs from operators who are
interested in the features. From what I can tell from the
comments/votes, there isn't much/any operator interest about live-resize.
As has been mentioned, resize down is hypervisor-specific whether or not
it's supported. For example, in the libvirt driver, resize down of
ephemeral disk is not allowed at all and resize down of root disk is
only allowed if the instance is boot-from-volume [2]. The xenapi driver
disallows resize down of ephemeral disk [3], the vmware driver disallows
resize down of root disk [4], the hyperv driver disallows resize down of
root disk [5].
So, allowing only live-resize up would be a way to behave consistently
across virt drivers.
