Thanks Jake, however, I need to shrink the image, not delete it as it contains a live customer image. Is it possible to manually edit the RBD header to make the necessary adjustment?

Regards,
Edwin Peer

    Hi,

    If its the only think in your pool, you could try deleting the
    pool instead.

    I found that to be faster in my testing; I had created 500TB when
    I meant to create 500GB.

    Note for the Devs: I would be nice if rbd create/resize would
    accept sizes with units (i.e. MB GB TB PB, etc).

        Hi there,

        I did something stupid while growing an rbd image. I accidentally
        mistook the units of the resize command for bytes instead of
        megabytes
        and grew an rbd image to 650PB instead of 650GB. This all happened
        instantaneously enough, but trying to rectify the mistake is
        not going
        nearly as well.

        <snip>
        ganymede ~ # rbd resize --size 665600 --allow-shrink
        client-disk-img0/vol-x318644f-0
        Resizing image: 1% complete...
        </snip>

        It took a couple days before it started showing 1% complete
        and has
        been stuck on 1% for a couple more. At this rate, I should be
        able to
        shrink the image back to the intended size in about 2016.

        Any ideas?

        Regards,
        Edwin Peer

You can just delete the rbd header. See Sebastien's excellent blog:
