let's make sure we agree on what i'm talking about here. when you
create a VM, you select a size for that disk image -- say, 8G -- and
it can be either fixed or dynamically expandable. what i'm asking is
whether you can change your mind later after you've created the VM and
find you're getting close to filling up your virtual disk space.
working from memory, i could swear i read somewhere that this was a
new feature with 4.0. and if it is, it should be mentioned early on
in the User Manual since it's a fairly significant feature.
