As Jeremy hinted at, the disk space isn't allocated by de-
fault.  You can look at the role::labs::lvm::* classes to
see if they fit your use case or partition the space manua-
lly.

Regarding ImageMagick's temporary directory,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10204060/how-do-i-change-temp-path-of-imagemagick
points to http://www.imagemagick.org/script/resources.php
and suggets that setting MAGICK_TEMPORARY_PATH on
ImageMagick invocation should allow specifying a different
temporary directory.
