I created a iscsi volume and mapped it to a windows 7 vm. then i used the software initiator to connect to hte volume and can see it, have a drive letter and can write to it. then i extended the lun in netapp and then rescanned the disk in wondows and i was able to extend it. but when i shrink it back down, i could not shrink it back in windows gives this error DiskPart has encountered an error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

wow, i resized it from command line lun resize /vol/iscsi/iscsi_qtr/iscsi_vol0 -4g it did resize it but when i went to the windows vm on snapdrive and rescanned it did show the drive as resized. but in my computer is still shoed the old size. So I went into windows disk management and rescanned. and it showed the new size. BUT it lost the drive letter and now the disk is showing as RAW not NTFS. so i guess this method of shrinking a lun makes you lose your drive and data?
