Hi Georgios, 1. I haven't seen that problem in my environment using pre-build cloud images. But I haven't build an image from scratch myself except using the magic "build-openstack-debian-image" command in debian. But this is certainly not the expected behavior. A well-built cloud image should create the exact number of NICs according to nova/libvirt's request.
2. Resizing the root filesystem is done using file system specific tools like resize2fs and xfs_growfs. You can check the source code of cloud-init at: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/view/head:/cloudinit/config/cc_resizefs.py Are you building the image for studying or for production use? *YY Inc. is hiring openstack and python developers. Interested?
