I've been thus far unable to do to - maybe you can explain how. for example, if i do a dd from a 120Gb to a 150Gb and then enter into something like gparted or fdisk there seems to be no way i can simply expand the disk beyond the original 120Gb boundaries. If there was unformatted/unpartitioned space within that 120Gb then things can be moved around there but not outside the original disk boundaries.
