Description
2024/04/10 11:09:14 [fiano][FATAL] out of space in firmware volume. space available: 2093056 bytes, new size: 24661310, reduce size by 22568254 bytes
I believe that an important advantage of fiano is that it can directly edit an existing UEFI file without obtaining the UEFI source code. When I encounter this error, I currently only know that the problem can be solved by modifying the size of the FV in edk2, which obviously makes fiano lose its advantages. Is there a way to modify the size of the FV in an existing UEFI file?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported out-of-space error while editing an existing UEFI FD file and inspect how fiano represents firmware volumes. Determine whether an existing FV can be expanded safely without source-code changes; done means a defined implementation path and validation for modifying the FD successfully.
