However, once I have the image file I actually want to uncompress it and resize it so its down to the 10G. I will be using this file as a virtual image. I dont want it setting there taking up 100G when all it really is for me is 10G.
How do I CHOP off the unneeded 90G.
create a file the size you want on the destination, run newfs on it, and loopback mount it, then...
tar clzf - / /home | ssh root@machine '(cd /mountpoint ; tar xvzf -)'
