ustcweizhou opened a new issue #3455: Configurable disk size of systemvm URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/3455 Currently we have systemvm template which has very small disk size. Because of this, it is difficult to install new packages or upgrade existing packages. Another issue is, if disk is full, virtual routers will not work because cloudstack will write some files to local disk when new configurations are applied to virtual routers. Here is the partitions of a virtual router ``` root@r-220-VM:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 110M 0 110M 0% /dev tmpfs 49M 25M 24M 52% /run /dev/sda5 1.1G 714M 342M 68% / tmpfs 121M 0 121M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock tmpfs 121M 0 121M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda1 92M 35M 57M 39% /boot /dev/sda6 435M 31M 400M 8% /var /dev/sda7 75M 1.6M 72M 3% /tmp tmpfs 121M 20K 121M 1% /ramdisk tmpfs 25M 0 25M 0% /run/user/0 ``` ##### ISSUE TYPE Improvement Request ##### COMPONENT NAME SystemVM Template ##### CLOUDSTACK VERSION 4.14 (?) ##### SUMMARY It would be nice to make disk size of systemvm configurable. To archive it, we need to (1) add global setting to indicate the disk size of systemvms and virtual routers (2) allocate disk with new size when provision the systemvm and virtual routers (3) install some packages/scripts in sysemvm template, so systemvm/vr can be auto-resized when systemvm/vr start. some documents in openstack: https://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/openstack-images.html#disk-partitions-and-resize-root-partition-on-boot-cloud-init We might need to change scripts to build the systemvm template (to have only one partition in systemvm ?) this is related to #3426 @rhtyd
