Resizable images are created with the -stretch option.
`man hdiutil` lists two cases where resizable images may be useful:
• resize is typically used when working with a large device image when
it is desirable to shrink the HFS/HFS+ partition before converting to
CD-R/DVD-R format.
• resize can also be used to grow a filesystem within its predefined
stretch limits.
Why do you need resizable disk images? If it's the latter of the
above two cases, have you also looked at sparse images? They grow
automagically.
hdiutil -type SPARSE -size 700m ~/new_image_name
That'll create an image that starts out minimally sized and grows as
needed, but never to exceed what could be burned to one CD.
