Lennart, the one I'm familiar with is a dracut module which expands
the filesystem at first boot to fill the available disk space.

Used very often in cloud and embedded (ARM) systems where you don't
install using Anaconda, but by copying a fixed size image onto a VM
disk or memory stick.

The upstream is:

https://launchpad.net/cloud-initramfs-tools

The dracut packaging is:
