Description
I created a VM of 300GB, but I have come into space issues. When I edit the size in vms.cfg, it changes the number that is reported below -
(vms.cfg HddGB line)
However, on the VM itself, it reports this size -
Is there anything I missed, or is it truly not possible for me to change the size of the VM after creation?
And, if there isn't a way to change the size, is there a way for me to preserve the data and transfer it to a new VM of larger size?

Research direction
Start by tracing how the HddGB value in vms.cfg is applied when a VM is created and what happens when it is edited afterward. Determine whether resizing an existing VM is supported and, if not, identify the supported way to preserve data while moving it to a larger VM; done means the behavior and migration path are established.
