[Users] Best practice to resize a WM disk image

[Rocky]

Its just a theoretical question as I think the issue will come for us
and other users.

I think there can be one or more snapshots in the WM over the time. But
if that is an issue we can always collapse them I think.
If its a base image it should be RAW, right?
In this case its on file storage (NFS).
