[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] qemu-img: Check post-truncation size

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

Some block drivers (iscsi and file-posix when dealing with device files)
do not actually support truncation, even though they provide a
.bdrv_truncate() method and will happily return success when providing a
new size that does not exceed the current size.  This is because these
drivers expect the user to resize the image outside of qemu and then
provide qemu with that information through the block_resize command
(compare cb1b83e740384b4e0d950f3d7c81c02b8ce86c2e).

Of course, anyone using qemu-img resize will find that behavior useless.
So we should check the actual size of the image after the supposedly
successful truncation took place, emit an error if nothing changed and
emit a warning if the target size was not met.
