Beyond getting an allocation, in some cases users have additional steps to use their resources.
Perform the following steps to change your file system size:
Check your existing file system size:
[asmith@alicehost ~]#tycoon host get_account_status providinghost1 file_system_size
Enter a bid specifying your desired file system size. For example, Alice would do the following to get 2GB on providinghost1:
[asmith@alicehost ~]#tycoon host bid providinghost1 0 disk:1,2GB,2GB
Assuming that your bid was accepted, shutdown your virtual machine so that its file system can be resized:
[asmith@alicehost ~]#tycoon host shutdown providinghost1
Resize the file system to the maximum possible given the current bid:
[asmith@alicehost ~]#tycoon host set providinghost1 file_system_size max
The maximum file system size will be somewhat less than the bid size because of file system overhead.
Boot up the virtual machine again.
[asmith@alicehost ~]#tycoon host boot providinghost1
