Why just forbid resizing, if we can fix it?

sorry, the correct patch is

return 1 if $running && !$scfg->{krbd}; 


the rbdplugin resize with rbd command.
when it's return, this is the qemu block_resize which is called (in QemuServer.pm)

when krbd is enabled, the rbd volume is mounted in the vm through /dev/rbd..., so it's not possible to use qemu block_resize feature.

qemu block resize feature only work for qemu block driver (rbd, sheepdog,qcow2,...) but not host devices.
