Yes, boot a virtual machine connected to the 256M disk image as a
second virtual hard drive (or boot your usual virtual machine from
a live CD such as the gparted live CD iso).  Then from inside the
virtual machine, use basic ext3 tools (such as tune2fs) to examine
the partition, find out which option is in the way and turn it off,
then resize the partition as you originally wanted.


Enjoy
