Is it possible to create hard-disk images that expand automaticly?
Create a 10G image that is realy 2G big, because just 2G are in use but
the guest-system see 10G.

Search for sparse files. Might be more what you are looking for.

A sparse file will do this for you, on Linux. At least it did it for me. :)
If you use QCOW 2, be sure to use trunk rather than the formal release

fixed.
