Hi Chris!

Thanks for pointing out the "--min-disk" parameter. I haven't used that one before.

I 'll try it out and post back.

Regards,

G.

You might be able to change it via openstack command, probably
something like 'openstack show image <Id>'  / 'openstack image set ??
<id>'

You can definitely download the image to a file and then upload a new
image, specifying --min-disk. Something like 'openstack image save
--file <file> <id>' and then just 'openstack image create --file
<file> --min-disk <disk size in gb> <image name>'

HTH,

Hello!

Let's assume that I have a VM's image that has been taken when the VM was launched with a flavor of 50GB for the root disk. Now when I try to spawn a new VM out of that image I cannot do it with a flavor that has disk less than 50GB even if the VM itself inside uses only 5GB.

Is there a way to shrink the image's flavor requirements?

Best,

G.
