When do expanding disks expand?

I've filled up the initial 4GB of an expanding virtual disk and all processes now just report 'not enough space' or 'disk full'. When will the disk expand and is there a way to force it to do so?

4Gb is final size of disk. Expanding mean - the file which contains the disk is not a 4Gb size when it created, it start from few kilobytes and grow to 4Gb. But 4Gb is maximum size of disk.

Click to expand...

The docs mention a Virtual Disk tool. How can that be accessed to create/modify existing vdd's ?

while useful I'm sure, in this case, it's a problem considering that I'm use Parallels because I lack a Windows part to do this with :-)

I'll figure something out :-)
