It actually dumps the ext4 image on the drive and then resizes it to
fit the available space. The ext4 image is stored compressed inside
of a squashfs file system on the live image.

It would be nice to get rid of the embedded ext4 image now that squashfs
supports special files and extended attributes (needed for selinuix labels),
but there are some other roadblocks that will block that change for the near
future.
