Description

Please vote Yes if you agree with all of the following. If you disagree, please vote No. If you don't have an opinion, please vote Abstain. I move that: The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue: Issue #136: virtio-blk: document that the capacity field can change -------------------------------------- Block devices can change size during operation. A configuration change notification is sent by the device and the driver detects that the field has changed. Document this behavior that has already been implemented in Linux and QEMU since 2011. https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/202203/msg00002.html -------------------------------------- The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification: -------------------------------------- https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/202203/msg00002.html -------------------------------------- The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio-v1.3-cs01", and future versions of the specification. -------------------------------------- Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. As the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the close of the second ballot missed. --------------------------------------
