c flavors

"c" flavors often have extra ephemeral drives, which will be resized when you choose a new "c" flavor. These ephemeral drives cannot become smaller, and as such "c" flavor VMs can only be resized to flavors with equal or larger ephemeral drives. After resizing however, you will not immediately see a larger ephemeral drive within your VM (e.g. the df -h command will not show the size increase). To see this extra space you will need to resize your filesystem (see the resize2fs command). However, filesystem resizes should be treated with caution and can take considerable time if the partitions are large. Before resizing a filesystem it is recommended to create backups of its contents (see backing up your VM).
