Off the top of my head ...

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1048576 count=1234 >> os.img
(don't remember actual count)
put os.img as /dev/sdb in the F10 VM
fdisk /dev/sdb
set units to B (bytes), print old partion table, note old start,  
delete first and only partition, make new partition from old start to  
100%, write, quit
ext2resize /dev/sdb1
