Resizing in Proxmox fails

LINBIT SDS Integrations Proxmox VE
1

I tried to resize a disk through the proxmox GUI, but it fails with the message:
“Volume definition must not be resized while the resource-definition has the property ‘’ set!”
I’m not sure why that happens, and I couldn’t find any empty properties in the resource definition. I have also migrated the VM to another node, but that didn’t help.

We run linstor-controller on another server with version: 1.27.1-1
the proxmox node has:
proxmox-ve/stable,now 8.2.0 all [installed]
linstor-client/unknown,now 1.22.1-1 all [installed]
linstor-common/unknown,now 1.27.1-1 all [installed,automatic]
linstor-proxmox/unknown,now 8.0.2-1 all [installed]
linstor-satellite/unknown,now 1.27.1-1 all [installed]
drbd-dkms/unknown,now 9.2.9-1 all [installed]
drbd-utils/unknown,now 9.28.0-1 amd64 [installed]

Hello,

The error text is unfortunately missing the actual property key that needs to be deleted: DrbdOptions/ExactSize (we will of course fix this error message). So you will have to delete this from your resource-definition in order to be able to resize your volume-definition again.

Quoting the release notes of our linstor-proxmox plugin v8.0.0 (from April 17th):

Online migration from external storage:
So far it was only possible to migrate data from external storage like
LVM to LINSTOR/DRBD if the data was migrated offline. If you want to
migrate data online you can now temporarily set “exactsize yes” in
your “storage.cfg” for a particular DRBD storage and then migrate disks
to it. After you are done, remove the “exactsize” option from the
“storage.cfg” again. The LINSTOR property that allowed temporary online
migration is then deleted when the disk is activated again (but not if
it is currently active). If you want to delete the property for all
active disks after migration, or you want to be extra sure, you can run
a command like this:

linstor -m --output-version v1 rd l | jq '.[][].name' | \
  xargs -I {} linstor rd sp {} DrbdOptions/ExactSize False
