Ok, this is something that should not happen, but I wanted to test it anyway:
Situation:
3 nodes.
1 partition of 1G for each node.
I was curios to see what was going to happen to a guest with a large
virtual space (10G) when it reaches the end of phisical space (2.8G):
# collie node info
Id Size Used Use%
0 920 MB 916 MB 99%
1 920 MB 916 MB 99%
2 978 MB 976 MB 99%
Total 2.8 GB 2.7 GB 99%
Note: the guest was able to write 923M.
Sheepdog doesn't seem to give any warning in the logs.
The guest start creying wih I/O errors as I was aspecting.
But I wish to focus on another thing:
I stoped the cluster
Resized the partitions to 10G
restarted the cluster
*I still get a cluster of 2.8G!*
# collie node info

Do I have to re-run collie cluster format?
Am I going to loose vdi disks?
