    # Install GParted on your boot2docker vm:
    # - Download GParted ISO from http://gparted.sourceforge.net
    # - Open VirtualBox
    # - Go to: boot2docker-vm > Settings > Storage
    # - Add an IDE controller
    # - Add your downloaded GParted ISO as CD/DVD
    # - Add your VDI to the SATA controller as Harddisk
    # - Remove the VMDK partition
    # Start GParted:
    # - Boot your boot2docker vm (it should boot from the GParted ISO/CD)
    # - Choose all defaults
    # Resize the partition (in the GUI):
    # - Right click > Resize on the boot2docker-data partition
    # - Drag the slider to increase the partition/volume
    # - Click Resize/Move
    # - Click Apply > and one last time :) (this wont take long)
    # - Quit and Shutdown
    # Next remove GParted:
    # - Go to: VirtualBox > boot2docker-vm > Settings > Storage
    # - Remove the IDE controller (and thus the GParted ISO)
    # Start the boot2docker vm using VirtualBox
    # - Click Start :)
    # Done!

    # After this you can start boot2docker normally
    boot2docker status # => poweroff
    boot2docker start
    # => Waiting for VM and Docker daemon to start...
