#37 Support setting the instance's disk size @ creation time
Closed: Duplicate None Opened 8 years ago by tflink.

As noted in this ticket, the disposable clients do not have enough disk by default to do things like depcheck - the official cloud images only have a 10G disk.

qemu-img has options to set the disk size when an image is created, add a cli and API option to optionally set that disk size.


this ticket is probably a wrong ticket number, that's about mirror configuration.

I thought the available disk size is defined by the base image disk size, so testcloud cannot magically make it larger (unless it resizes the image and the partitions and filesystems inside it). Does it work in a different way?

No, it's the right ticket number:

I changed the config for cloud-init so that download.fp.o resolves to an internal mirror but now it's running out of space while doing depcheck which is a different problem :)

We ended up using a new image with a larger disk to solve the problem on a temporary basis but ran into yet another issue documented in #657 which is currently hotfixed on taskotron-dev

Apparently, I can't search for duplicates BEFORE creating new tickets.

This is effectively a duplicate of #420, closing
