Notes

1. Sams has info about how to Mount an ISO image under XP
   • This means that you don't have to burn a CD in order to make it mountable from XP, you should be able to simply get an iso image onto your OS X partition and then mount it through the shared file system.
   • Unfortunately, that did not work (w/ Parallels build 1970: the November 1, 2006 release.) You have to actually copy the ISOs to the Windows partition to mount them.
2. Unseasy Silence has a note about how to Resize a Parallels disk image for Windows
   

   It may not be obvious but you have to use the Parallels disk tool (in the apps dir) to grow the partition first.

   The first time I did this on my MBP under 10.4.8 the gpartd boot process hung (after a while) on "retrying failed uevents...". So, I disconnected all my peripherals (including a Cinema monitor, USB hub w/ mouse and scanner) and tried again but it still hung.

   Then I closed all my apps, and restarted. After restart (with external stuf disconnected), I disconnected the network (in Parallels) and did NOT start Virtual Deskstops (5b2).

   Then it succeeded (while I was making coffee) and now I have more disk space! It's possible that all I was missing in the first two instances was some patience.

3. Macosxhints has instructions about how to mount a FUSE file system under OS X using ssh . My notes about include:

   0) Get your public ssh keys in place
   
   1) Install the MacFUSE kernel extensions (per the URL above.)  I used the dmg file.
   
   2) It is not clear to me if it is really necessary to reboot for the kernel extensions to work
   
   3) Mount your remote file system (notice the colon on the end of the first argument):

   I installed from the dmg file (not the jar file.) There is no "fusermount", I simply used "umount" to unmount.
