> The BigTop VMs come with very small disks,  (partitions = "/" ; size: 2 --> 2GB).  
> Either Default VM sizes could be larger, or (better) maybe  we could curate a VM deployment methodology that is more flexible.  
> At least in KVM, you can : 
> 1) Follow :
> http://serverfault.com/questions/452794/increasing-a-linux-partition-once-vm-size-increased-in-vsphere
> 2) And then Run your virt-install: 
>  virt-install --import -n vmname -r 2048 --os-type=linux --disk ./bigtop-vm-kvm-master/bigtop_hadoop-sda.raw,device=disk,bus=virtio,size=8,sparse=true,format=raw --vnc --noautoconsole
> To create a "large" bigtop VM.    
> But that seems a little bit like too much work.  Options to create a more useable VM are:
> 1) Just hardcode the boxgrinder generators to make bigger default disk size for the VM
> 2) Have docs for vagrant/kvm/vmware that show how to setup the BigTop VM and then resize it using QEMU tools or VBoxModify, etc...
