Resize a .vmdk virtual disk file

Resize a .vmdk virtual disk file at the ESX Service Console with the following command:

vmkfstools -X 50G mydisk.vmdk

The numerical value represent the new size of the disk, not the relative change in size. Size can be specified in G,M, or K (guess what these mean?). In ESX 2.x, disks could be increased and decreased in size, however, as of ESX3 and beyond, disks can only be increased in size.
