Boot into the virtual machine as normal and you’ll notice you have more space for Snuffles. Make sure you leave at least 4 GB of unallocated space so that you can add the linux-swap partition back later.Īfter you’ve resized your partition, you’ll be done. If your filesystem is ext4, like mine was when I did this, you’ll need to delete the linux-swap file located in-between your partition and the unallocated space. Execute EasyUS and use the EasyUS Clone function (it clones OVdi MBR, and the ntfs partition of OVdi by shrinking to new disk DVdi) Poweroff the VM.
boot VM and install the utility EaseUS Backup Free. It is going to simulate a live CD boot where you can modify your virtual partition. create a new disk ( vdi) with name DVdi of desired size (20GB my case.) attach DVdi to the VM. vdi is resized, but the disk space is unallocated in the virtual machine. vdi file from file explorer to you cmd window) and replace SIZE with the new size you want (measured in MB) 1 GB = 1000 MB Replace LOCATION with the absolute file path to your. VBoxmanage modified LOCATION –resize SIZE Once there, type this command to resize the. It’s default location is C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\
You can then navigate to you vitualbox installation folder. Open the Command Line on your windows machine. The process is not simple, but it can be if you just use the following steps: But you’ll find out quickly that Oracle has not made this super-easy to do. Rather than free up space by deleting the other pics of Snuffles, you decide you’d rather just make the virtual machine have more disk space. But now you want to download a picture of your cat and find out that you’ve run out of disk space. Congratulations! You’ve made a virtual box of your favorite linux distro.
