![]() Step 2: Expand Ubuntu VirtualBox disk sizeįinally, open the Command Terminal on Ubuntu you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL ATL T. Open Ubuntu VirtualBox and select the Virtual machine which size you want to increase then go to Settings -> Storage->select virtual disk-> copy the disk location. Step 1: Open the VirtualBox on Ubuntu and copy drive path The method we used to increase the size of the VirtualBox virtual drive above, the same will apply in Ubuntu too. Open VirtualBox again, select the VM from the left side -click on Settings-> Storage-> select th e Disk drive and in right side info, you will see the increased amount of storage. Step 6: Check increased VirtualBox disk size Note: Remember in above command the VM drive path is our and you have to replace it with yours. For example, we want to add around 60GB to our existing VDI disk then in our case the command will be like this VBoxManage.exe modifymedium "C:\Users\Raj\VirtualBox VMs\Ubuntu 19\Ubuntu 19.vdi" -resize 60999 While the value in MB will replace the amount of size you want to add to your virtual disk drive. path” with the path of a virtual drive we copied and pasted in notepad. In the above command replace the green colour text “ paste the above step copied. VBoxManage.exe modifymedium ” paste the above step copied disk drive path” –resize value in MB To increase the size of the VM disk drive the command is: Step 5: Now increase Virtualbox disk size Thus, double click on the location, right-click to copy and paste in NotePad and then close the VirtualBox. What we need here is the location of our Virtualbox’s VM drive. Under the settings select Storage and then your VM’s VDI/VHD/VDMK virtual hard disk and as you select it some info about it will appear on the right side. Now, the system has a bigger diskspace to play around with.Step 4: Copy the Path of your VDI/VHD/VMDK Virtual Drive Resize2fs -p /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 Trigger online resizing of the live and mounted filesystem so the new disk space can be utilized immediately: usr/sbin/lvextend -l 100%FREE /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 Now we have to add the same into our logical volume #VIRTUALBOX INCREASE DISK SIZE CENTOS FREE#usr/sbin/ vgdisplay (note the free space now in the Volume Group which can now be assigned to a Logical Volume) dev/sda3 2611 6527 31463302 8e Linux LVMĬonvert /dev/sda3 partition into a Physical Volume so LVM can make use of it:Īdd the new Physical Volume to the Volume Group as additional free space: Once you reboot you should login as root or with su : Now you must reboot to display into the logical volume manager the parititions.Ĭ. W (write out the new partitions layout to disk) It will set the partition of the type 8e. Now you have to specify logical volume type ie. You have to enter following commands one by one :ģ- number of parition ( default there will be 2 partitions available so we have to choose 3 if you have more u can use 1 more than parition numbers ) It will enter into the fdisk console in order to format your hard disk. You will find /dev/sda size as added in this case its 22.6 GB. #VIRTUALBOX INCREASE DISK SIZE CENTOS PASSWORD#Use su root and password to login as super user.ĭisk /dev/sda: 30.0 GB, 53687091200 bytesĢ55 heads, 63 sectors/track, 6527 cylinders Follow procedure Bī ) To partition the space you need to know what partitions you have available you need to be root in order to do all these system level changes : To avoid the problem of UUID you have to create new virtual machine and then to solve the problem of unpartitioned space you have to format the current partition inth ext3 format and add the same into current system hard disk. ![]() ![]() Its neither partitioned nor of any file system it will be considered as non-partitioned space in the system.ħ. Now the problem will be your UUID of the virtual machine and the added RAW space in the virtual hard disk. in our case its cent-os.v.2.vdi the hard disk with incrased hard disk.Ħ. It will clone your current vdi file into another vdi ie. Once you select the options hit PROCEED button.ĥ. increase partition size ( this will be disabled till you check the first one )Ĥ. increase virtual drive size to SIZE GB.ī. Give the output name of the vdi file for increased HDD suppose cent-os.v2.vdi.Ī. suppose cent-os.v1.vdi is your current OS hdd.Ģ. ![]() I have been struggling to increase the Hard disk size of my Development Enviornment on Virtualbox with CentOS-5.įound some nice steps to increase the space of hard disk.įollow these steps in order to increase the hard disk space.Ī) First lets increase the size of current vdi file.ĭownload the tool CloneVDI in the attachment to copy the current hard disk.ġ. ![]()
