Can anyone tell me how to resize
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/VM-IMAGES/13.0-RC5/aarch64/Latest/FreeBSD-13.0-RC5-arm64-aarch64.raw

on an amd64 host?

note that this has been unxz'd already.

truncate -s 6g FreeBSD-13.0-RC5-arm64-aarch64.raw       # enlarge
mdconfig -f FreeBSD-13.0-RC5-arm64-aarch64.raw          # make device
gpart recover md1                                       # fix up gpt
gpart resize -i 3 md1                                   # expand ufs partition
growfs md1p3                                            # grow ufs

Note that mdconfig may output a different md device than md1, use
that instead.

thanks for this. I earlier found something similar with qemu-img resize
but with a qcow2 image. i'll write it up.
