where your partition file is xx.file

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1000 >> xx.file (will add an extra gig to the file size)

 From within the VM, booting off a floppy or other image file.

fdisk /dev/xxx and delete then re-create the parition with the same starting block but to fill the 
rest of the partition.

e2resize /dev/xxx (whatever you use).

I did a dodgy by copying my image.

Loading both of them in qemu, expanding the non-mounted second one, then restarting the vm with the 
second one as the root disk.

Schweet Moite!

Save you a full re-install.

(Works for UML's too)
