Hi all,
I'm preparing some cloud images for the major Linux distributions and I'd like 
they to grow their root fs on boot (to use all the available space).

Ubuntu cloud images (http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com) use initramfs-growroot but 
installing it (and maintaining it across kernel upgrade) could be tricky -at 
least for me- on redhat derived like centos or fedora.

Note cloud-utils (including growroot) is currently in review for Red Hat 
flavored distros:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907756

So my question is: what are pros and cons of using an ext3/4 root-fs and 
initramfs-growroot, or LVM (with a custom script that runs on first boot)?

LVM might be a bit heavy weight for this?

cheers,
Pádraig.
