How to create a .hdf file as a drive in winuae os4.1

Hi,
I'm using something called flowerpot from amikit which configures and installs an os4.1 installation in Linux. It basically relies on winuae installed via play on Linux.
It's fine and works well but I'd like to create a new hard file disk and my question is, how can I create one in winuae and mount it in the Amiga emulation? The various settings such as geometry filesys and device etc are not familiar to me. On the other hand Is it easier to mount a folder from the PC as a disk? If it is how could it be done and would it work exactly like a .HDF disk?

Regards Steve
