[BUG] CRC not respecing disk-size config for hyper-v

[gshipley]

General information

• OS: Windows 11
• Hypervisor: Hyper-V
• Did you run crc setup before starting it (Yes/No)? Yes
• Running CRC on: Desktop / 64gb ram (dedicated to vm, 128gb total), 10 cored dedicated

Hyper-V Requirements:      A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed.

Steps to reproduce

1. crc config set disk-size 512
2. crc stop
3. crc start
4. disk size not change in hyper-v. Not matter the setting it will always be 32gb

Expected

Virtual disk size matches the config value.

Actual

Disk size always remains at 32gb. Even after stop, cleanup, setup, start etc. In order to change the virtual disk size, as seen in above output, I need to stop the vm (crc stop) and then manually edit the disk size in hyper-v manager.

[anjannath]

@gshipley Can you please provide the o/p of crc start --log-level debug after setting the disk-size, this should have logs from the disk-resize operation, run:

$ crc config set disk-size 512
$ crc stop
$ crc start --log-level debug

In the log file I can see following we have to check if that windows-11 specific issue because on linux I tried same and able to get disk expanded to 512GB.

[praveenkumar]

@anjannath @jsliacan Can you folks try it on win-10 or in win-11 (if have one)?

[jsliacan]

Will give it a try manually, but below is the test from this release on win10 baremetal machine (see the case that I isolated). It seemed to have worked. Not sure if we have access to Win11 atm.

[cfergeau]

on linux I tried same and able to get disk expanded to 512GB.

There is some platform-specific code involved in disk resizing, the log you pasted is the generic code common to all 3 platforms. On Windows, this code needs to run before trying to resize the disk:

crc/pkg/drivers/hyperv/hyperv_windows.go

Lines 73 to 80 in 3291661

	if newDriver.DiskCapacity != d.DiskCapacity {
	log.Debugf("Resizing disk from %d bytes to %d bytes", d.DiskCapacity, newDriver.DiskCapacity)
	err := cmd("Hyper-V\\Resize-VHD", "-Path", quote(d.getDiskPath()), "-SizeBytes", fmt.Sprintf("%d", newDriver.DiskCapacity))
	if err != nil {
	log.Warnf("Failed to set disk size to %d", newDriver.DiskCapacity)
	return err
	}
	}

[anjannath]

The disk-size value is applied only when an already created CRC instance is stopped and re-started, it doesn't take the value of disk-size when creating a fresh new instance, from the logs shared by @gshipley it was a new instance creation, we can see the following from his logs:

DEBU Creating VM...
DEBU Running 'Hyper-V\New-VM crc -Path 'C:\Users\gshipley\.crc\machines\crc' -MemoryStartupBytes 65000MB'
DEBU Running 'Hyper-V\Remove-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName crc'
DEBU Running 'Hyper-V\Set-VMMemory -VMName crc -DynamicMemoryEnabled $false'
DEBU Running 'Hyper-V\Set-VMProcessor crc -Count 10'

DEBU Running 'Hyper-V\Add-VMHardDiskDrive -VMName crc -Path 'C:\Users\gshipley\.crc\machines\crc\crc.vhdx''

So the value of disk-size was not applied in your case, I changed the disk-size to 50 and stopped and started CRC and the VM disk was resized:

PS > crc config view
- consent-telemetry                     : no
- disk-size                             : 50

crc start logs showing the disk resize happening:

[anjannath]

we can investigate and work on making the disk-size effective even for the first start/fresh instance creation

[cfergeau]

I just tested this on macOS, and the disk is resized even for the first start/fresh instance creation, so this is a Windows-specific issue.

[jduimovich]

On windows 10, and now on windows 11, the disk size has never worked for me (first time or restarts)
The workaround is to run a powershell resize after first boot. Double the time since you have to start twice but works fine.

Kind of forgot about it as my init workflow just does it for me so never retried to see if CRC fixed it.

This is a powershell script, you can put into a file like crc-resize.ps1, and run from powershell or from WSL I use powershell.exe -File crc-resize.ps1

crc stop
Resize-VHD -Path  $HOME\.crc\machines\crc\crc.vhdx -SizeBytes 200GB
Get-VHD  -Path  $HOME\.crc\machines\crc\crc.vhdx
crc start

I will retry today the newest crc double start to see if its working (Windows 11)

[jduimovich]

I ran this script with the crc deleted and it still fails.

echo "CRC Init first time"
crc status
crc setup 

function crcrestart() { 
    echo "CRC starting and configuring disk." 
    crc stop  
    crc status  
    crc config set disk-size 512   
    crc config view
    crc start --log-level debug
    crc status  
}

crcrestart
crcrestart

As you noted above the first time, nothing happens to resize, the line creation of the disk should probably pass the requested size (i assume 'Hyper-V\New-VM could take a disk param ?)

I snipped a bunch of stuff... but same log snipped from the second try - the instance is stopped, the size changed, crc started again and after second start it still says

Changes to configuration property 'disk-size' are only applied when the CRC instance is started.
If you already have a running CRC instance, then for this configuration change to take effect, stop the CRC instance with 'crc stop' and restart it with 'crc start'.

I tried manually stop; resize; start using powershell
Resize-VHD -Path $HOME\.crc\machines\crc\crc.vhdx -SizeBytes 512GB
which works fine.
