Kelcey is talking about growing the volume that the VM has, which can be done via resizeVolume API call, or adding a new Data disk to the VM as he mentions.
CloudStack is supposed to track the size available and size used of storage pools, but I'm not sure how robust this is or which storage types are supported. In general you should just be able to expand the volume and make it known to the host, and then cloudstack will see it when it polls for the pool status.
