Resize a Hard Disk for a Virtual Machine

Our Virtual Machines are provisioned using Vagrant from a Linux base box to run using VirutalBox. If the Hard Disk space runs out and you cannot remove files to free-up space, you can resize the Hard Disk using some VirtualBox and Linux commands.

from timeit import timeit
from random import choice, randint
from string import ascii_letters

# random_keys = [''.join([choice(ascii_letters) for i in range(randint(4,30))]) for i in range(10000)]

def add2dict(random_keys):
    s = {}
    for key in random_keys:
        s[key] = 1
