Apparently in VMWare Workstation and higher (ie the non-free products :),
there is a tool called the VMWare Virtual Disk Manager which should help out.
Note that I can't test the following procedure, so *please* test it out on
a new image (how about that 2.1 beta? :) first to see if it works. Please let
me know if it's accurate or not so that it can be put into the FAQ and other
documentation.
Step 1: Increase the size of the "underlying" VMWare disk
Reference:
http://www.vmware.com/support/ws45/doc/disk_vdiskmanager_run_ws.html#1057509
You may need to shut down the image first and delete any snapshots that may
have been created.
vmware-vdiskmanager -x <new size>GB <image>.vmdk
A concrete example to expand the image to 40GB:
vmware-vdiskmanager -x 40GB zenoss-2.0.6-x86.vmdk
NB: You may require the -t option to perform splitting on 2GB boundaries
Step 2: Get rpath to increase the space
Reference: http://www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/resize2fs8.html)
Start the image and login as root on the image.
Resize the '/' disk using resize2fs :
resize2fs /dev/root
This hopefully should work for you.

This is something that I haven't needed to do yet, so I haven't tried this
procedure either. (Doh! :)
Inside of the Zenoss image there is a command called 'zenbackup' that you
should be able to run to create a backup. After the backup is created, copy
it out to another location and then try 'zenrestore' on the recovery image /
site.
Good luck!
