Hi, Normally cloud providers create vm templates with small size (e.g. 10GB). When create vm from the template, user can override the root disk size so that vm have a larger size (e.g. 60GB) If the vm template has cloud-init installed, it can detect the new disk size and auto-grow the partition to use the full disk.
In your case, if users pay for only 60GB, resizing to 120GB should be forbidden. -Wei On Mon, 4 Sept 2023 at 16:51, Granwille Strauss <granwi...@namhost.com.invalid> wrote: > Hi Wido > > Thank you.
