'Openstack cinder volume resize does not reflect without a vm reboot
When I extend a cinder volume which is "in-use" state, the volume gets extended but when I see inside the vm it does not show the extension it still shows the same size. Only after a reboot the change shows inside the vm - windows disk management. Is there a way to force this change, where I dont have to reboot the server and it shows the change on the fly. The problem is we can not stop the IO on the disk, so can not really afford a reboot. Any direction here, how to solve this problem. Thanks
Openstack version: Xena KVM hypervisor
