If I use LVM on template, can I add a script that resizes the root logical volume (LV) via LVM on the first boot? Then how to get the allocated disk size from cloudstack? Regards. TIA On Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 2:54 PM, Nux! n...@li.nux.ro wrote: On 21.11.2013 11:19, Fariborz Navidan wrote:

Fariborz Not sure if it is clear from your emails or not but the disk size you are selecting in the add instance wizard is not the root disk size, instead it is the size of an extra disk that will be available and attached to your instance. Hopefully Nux's emails make more sense to you now.
