| Summary | 0007097: Issue with minimum disk size in Rocky-9 Generic Cloud Base image |
|---|
| Description | I noticed that since Rocky-9-GenericCloud-Base-9.4 the partition table in the image from which the operating system is built has been changed from such:
qemu-img info Rocky-9-GenericCloud-Base-9.3-20231113.0.x86_64.qcow2
image: Rocky-9-GenericCloud-Base-9.3-20231113.0.x86_64.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10 GiB (10737418240 bytes)
disk size: 1.01 GiB
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
compat: 1.1
compression type: zlib
lazy refcounts: false
refcount bits: 16
corrupt: false
extended l2: false
to such:
qemu-img info Rocky-9-GenericCloud-Base-9.4-20240523.0.x86_64.qcow2
image: Rocky-9-GenericCloud-Base-9.4-20240523.0.x86_64.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 10.5 GiB (11259609088 bytes)
disk size: 575 MiB
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
compat: 1.1
compression type: zlib
lazy refcounts: false
refcount bits: 16
corrupt: false
extended l2: false
this seemingly small change has caused a huge problem, as the minimum partition value has changed from 10GB to ~10.5GB(see virtual size parameter) and now flavor with a 10GB disk cannot be used on the cloud and virtual servers have stopped building. Request to revert to the previous version, build images, I will mention that in the CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-x86_64-9 images built by RedHat, the partition size is still equal 10GB
