Copy and resize VirtualBox disk.¶
I have clear copies of several OSes for VirtualBox. When I need new one I copy and resize them to get desired size.
To copy I make a copy:
$ vboxmanage clonehd /path/to/Hurd.vdi /path/to/Hurd-new.vdi
determine size:
$ vboxmanage showhdinfo /path/to/Hurd-new.vdi
UUID: 63b87983-3130-4db3-cd8c-6d693dcfd92b
Accessible: yes
Logical size: 2996 MBytes
Current size on disk: 1660 MBytes
Type: normal (base)
Storage format: VDI
Format variant: dynamic default
In use by VMs: Hurd (UUID: f7591848-2c60-4c7c-3886-b66bdb35e425)
Location: /path/to/Hurd-new.vdi
and then apply new size (in MiB):
$ vboxmanage modifyhd --resize 35000 /path/to/Hurd-new.vdi
Next I mount parted-magic
and boot to it and use gparted
to extend
existing fs to free space.
