Solved Resize / partition

Q: What is the easiest way to try bhyve?

 sh /usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -d FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-amd64.raw vm0

root@freebsd:~ # df -h
Filesystem         Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/gpt/rootfs    3.9G    3.2G    367M    90%    /
devfs              1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /dev
/dev/gpt/efiesp     32M    878K     31M     3%    /boot/efi

Can I resize / from 3.9G to 20G ?

13.0-RELEASE-amd64.raw.xz

VM File sizing

I am new to VM's so I wonder what is the best strategy for VM file sizing. For example I am building a Poudiere VM and I truncated my VM for 80GB. What if I need more later? Can I DD my VM image into another larger image and grow the filesystem on the VM side? So I can probably grow a VM but...

You can enlarge the .raw image with dd or truncate.
