Comment (by bonefish):

 If we supported VMware images that resize automatically that wouldn't be a
 big deal, but since we don't the image would take a lot more space.
 Besides, I don't see why you don't just use a second disk image to contain
 all your work. That's a good approach anyway, since it allows you to just
 update to a newer Haiku without losing your work by just replacing the
 system image. That's how I do it even with real partitions.

 If you build your own image, you can just override the image size in you
 UserBuildConfig.
