- I would guess that resizing a HFV file is about equivalent to changing the
- size of harddisk partition, which is difficult to impossible since it
- requires changing the sector allocation tables (FAT, BAM, whatever) and
- possibly moving all files to a different sector offset, if the tables require
- more space then before.
-
- Maybe it would be possible to just create a larger volume, then copy all files
- into it and change the volume name with some kind of disk file editor, but
- I have no idea how the HFV files are structured. (E.g. if you create a HFV
- called Sxstem then later change it to System, it might work).
