[Rdo-list] Automatic resizing of root partitions in RDO Icehouse

[Elías David]

Oh, no problem here either if I use the tdl only, using both a kickstart
(-a) and a tdl is where the problem began, every step was slow,
partitioning, package install, post-install scripts..., and so on until the
error showed up.

I'm pretty sure it was an error on my part, more likely in the kickstart.

In the end, for the fedora images I settled using appliance-creator and got
an image able to autogrow using one of the fedora 20 cloud kickstarts as
base (kickstarts from here:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/cloud-kickstarts.git/tree/generic)

I really appreciate all your help!

I'll be documenting later in the RDO wiki for future reference
