[pve-devel] pve-manager : add hd resize feature

Hi Alexandre,

you're correct your code is fine. I'm using virtio-scsi.

Even when i manually enter qm monitor and do:
block_resize drive-scsi1 98G

the guest does not notice anything... Guest is running 3.6.10 vanilla 
kernel.

So it must be a limitation of virtio-scsi or a bug in qemu.

Dietmar any ideas?

Greets,
Stefan
