Hello, everybody
I use virsh to run my VM and QEMU as a hypervisor.
When I connect to it, it shows me a console with a some predefined size.
I know that I am able to update grub configuration to pass the correct
size as a kernel command line option or use stty something like:
stty rows 62 cols 213
and it's resizes correctly.
But is there any way to define the console's size outside the guest, in
the VM's configuration?
Unfortunately that's not possible, nor can we notify the guest of
resizes on the client end.
Honestly the 'virsh console' is best used only in emergencies when the
VM doesn't boot. Any other time it is better to just use SSH, which
correctly deals with resizing consoles.
