Hi Sigurður

Thanks for dropping me that mail. about your issues:

1. Dynamically changing the disk size you requested is not supported, 
however you can chose to create your disk
as "thin provisioning" with a size bigger than what you currently need, 
say 80Gb. The amount of space that will be used is only 1Gb and it'll 
grow with your usage.

2. you network scenario is correct and we addressed just that in 3.1 and 
its called "setup networks" 
http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/Design/Network .
you can get it working with the latest ovirt builds.

For further help - ovirt is an open source project and as one we run 
mailing lists for users,contributers, developers to have their questions 
and discussions. all getting attention.
Also we have a chat room where you can get immediate (almost :) ) 
response. all the details here - http://www.ovirt.org/project/community/

Hope this helps,
Roy
