In addition to the note already made about reducing filesystem sizes,
I just want to reaffirm that resize is really not the way you want to
be using clouds, and IMO should be removed from Nova (but there's enough
people who disagree with me that it will probably stay).

Anyway, I suggest never using resize, and just deploying new servers,
running tests, and then deleting the old ones. Having cloud with
flexibility and space for this is why you have a cloud.
