Xen users - Feb 2006 - Resizing Freebsd mdroot domU, on a RHEL4 dom0 machine.

I''ve gotten freebsd 7.0 domU working using the files here:
http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/7.0/downloads
on a rhel4 system using xen-3.0.0-7.1_rhel4.1 rpms.

but the root filesystem for freebsd is quite small:

demo# df -h | grep /
/dev/xbd1793a    496M    274M    182M    60%    /

I''m wanting to resize the mdroot filesystem, but am unsure how.  I have
no issues resizing ext* loopback files, but don''t really know a 
procedure to get something like ''growfs'' to work on a loopback
file on
freebsd.

Does anyone have any pointers/URLs?

Thanks for any help you could offer.

You could extend the loop and if ufs2 supports online resizing resize in 
the guest.

I do not know of any tools for Linux to manipulate the UFS2 filesystem.

Thank you,
