Lucian,
I have seen CS 4.3 installation made by Citrix at our parnter and they
have the same feature enabled for XenServer and VmWare. I wonder how does it
work ?
They have their own team of developers to make some extra features they
need (like plugin for statistics and billing), but did they implement
particularly this feature or Citrix did it - I don't know. It seems this part
of code is not contributed back to community anyway. It would be nice to have
it, especially together with "slieders" which are quite popular right now as I
understood.
Vadim.

Vadim,
1. Only KVM for now, due to lack of interest I guess 2. The root disk value
needs to be equal or larger than that of the template, otherwise you end up
with a broken disk, obviously. So go for minimal (say under 10G) templates that
can resize themselves, such as the ones at http://dl.openvm.eu ;) 3. The
backend API has been supporting this since 4.4.0, it's the UI that is lagging
behind More details here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6181
