ZuluSCSI - is there a way to expand the size of a .hda file ?

I've successfully set up a ZuluSCSI RP2040 with a Quadra 650, installing MacOS 7.6.1 and a range of software.

However, perhaps I shouldn't have opted for the 500MB default (in Disk Jockey) when creating the original .hda virtual hard disk file, I've started running out of "disk" space ;-)

Does anyone know any easy way to expand the size of the .hda file to something closer to 2GB ?

(I've tried creating an empty file using dd, and then using "cat blanks.img >>" to add it to either the end of the HD1.hda or or the filestsystem.img file)

Understood that I could add a second .hda file, but would prefer to have a single disk/partition if possible,

Ideas appreciated ...

Add another, with a larger size, and copy all your files to it, then remove the previous one

Ha - I'd forgotten how straight forward some of these things are on simpler/more elegant operating systems. Thanks, @Qrani !

(My only problem was that I formatted the "new" drive with a new name, which caused some aliases to break, however all OK now)
