Let imagine you have dragonfly installed on a 250 Gb disk, and you
want to move it to a 500 Gb disk without reinstalling, how could you
dump your existing disk and grow the HAMMER partition ?

I need this to install the system from a virtual machine to a remote
host, using DD (Already did it for OpenBSD and NetBSD and I would like
to do it with DragonFly so at least, we could install DragonFly on
dedicated servers).
