Attaching a new disk to a running VM
Just for my own memory (attaching 400G to vm named git0):
pool-define-as hdd --type dir --target /mnt/libvirt pool-start hdd pool-autostart hdd vol-create-as hdd gitdisk 400G attach-disk git0 /mnt/libvirt/gitdisk vdb --persistent --driver qemu --subdriver qcow2
The driver and subdriver options are essential. Otherwise the disk is attached as raw disk and the guest will only see several kilobytes (kb) of disk not the full 400G.
