The reason for the above is that in ec2 your '/' filesystem is the size of
the filesystem in the image (much as that is in uec). The difference is
that in ec2, the only cost to you is the upload of the larger image
(compressed). So its basically benefit of a larger / with zero cost.

That is obviously different in UEC where that large file image sits on
*your* storage, not amazons.
