Agree with you Mark. If this software is good as it is today is ALSO 
because users give feedback and ask for features. I also think this 
would be a nice feature, but it could cause some confusion to the guest 
OS. I can't imagine what would happen to the index table of the file 
system of the guest system if the size of the disk just get increased.

David, we respect the opinion of the developers. We are PROPOSING a 
feature, not demanding one. So chill out.
