Have you seen [1]? I haven't used it, but it looks like it will do exactly
what you want.

Hi,
How can I create an image file system that can grow bigger as required?
Vmware, qemu, kvm, etc all can create file systems in an image file which
is initially small, but grow bigger as required. I want to do that too,
but
dd if=/dev/zero of=file-fs.ext2 bs=1k count=20k
mke2fs file-fs.ex
