> Hello,
> The current size lock-in of the ROOT disk based on the template is not
> consistent and creates problem.
> I've always toyed with the idea of a market place, sadly the random size
> lock-in is the major turn-off.
> Additionally it may be one of the causes (along with lack of popularity) for
> distributions not to provide OS image templates as they do for Openstack;
> which gets me to the next issue:
> - official images for Openstack could be used with minimal modifications now
> that cloud-init started to support Cloudstack as a data source, but most of
> these images are very minimal (< 1GB) since they rely on
> dracut-modules-growroot and similar to expand to the target disk.
> This hinders adoption.
> I don't know how it's done on other hypervisors, on KVM I believe the
> template could be used as a backing file; interesting read:
