Funny you should ask.  That's exactly what I'm working on right now.  
There's a page about it on the wiki:

   http://colinux.org/wiki/index.php/ExpandingRoot

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do it from within coLinux.  IMHO, 
the "best" strategy would be to modify your default.colinux.xml file to 
point both the a super minimal linux and your "real" root_fs, boot to 
the super-minimal linux, tack on a bunch of zero-filled bits to the end 
of the "real" fs, and finally fsck and resize2fs your "real" fs.  For a 
super-minimal linux I was thinking of tomsrtbt, but I don't know how to 
setup colinux for tomsrtbt.

So, for now I've been using a copy of the original fs image.
