Sonali, my experience with KVM (NFS or CEPH...):
1. qemu-img rezize.... to some bigger value 2. go to DB cloud.volumes table and increase value in the "size" column (read output from qemu-img info to get new size) If automatic resoruce query is in place as Vadim said, that would be great, but anyway, I like to be on safe side with this :) Also make sure that volume is not being used at the momemnt (i.e. shutdown VM...)
