Subject: [PATCH storage 2/4] lvm: qcow2 resize: do not abort if LV size is already large enough
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 16:39:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109154341.215638-3-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109154341.215638-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com>

The qcow2 size is used as the basis of allocation and resize
operations, and the LV size is calculated based on it. So having a
larger LV for some reason, for example after a manual resize, is not
fundamentally an issue, but the lvextend command can fail with either
of the following during a subsequent resize operation:
1. > No size change.
2. > New size given (769 extents) not larger than existing size (1025 extents)

Warn about having a larger LV size, because it is not expected, but
do not abort the operation.

Reported-by: Daniel Herzig <d.herzig@proxmox.com>

We could also just use a normal print/warn rather than a task warning.
For small resizes, the situation might happen because of extent
rounding.
