Description
Hi,
I resized a WSL image to 512M, then I exported the image, and imported in another computer.
But when I open the new imported image, the size is back to 256M. I wonder if it is possible to have a persistent size when importing the image? or Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help,
JG

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the export and import flow with a resized WSL image, then trace how the image size is recorded and restored. Done means the imported image preserves the resized capacity, with a regression test covering the round trip.
