image_size

Description

Sets the size of image files. This applies to images creation and also validation tests (when checking that a image was properly created according to what was requested).

By default the image size is set to 10G:

image_size = 10G

But a VM can have other drives, backed by other image files (or block devices), with different sizes:

# Tests
variants:
    - block_hotplug: install setup image_copy unattended_install.cdrom
        images += " stg"
        boot_drive_stg = no
        image_name_stg = storage
        image_size_stg = 1G
