A launch done with the current CentOS 6.x base HVM image remains with an 8 Gig "/" parition, even if a larger disk image is allocated for it, until you manually use "fdisk" to delete the partition and resize it manuall, do a reboot so CentOS 6 sees the full partition, and then use "resize2fs" to rebuild it. I keep a larger base disk image around for just this purpose, but it's a waste of time I could better spend on other tasks, and rebooting is a fairly undesirable step.
