shankar-bavan / Resize VirtualBox Ubuntu
Created September 6, 2019 04:06
Resize a VirtualBox guest Linux VDI Disk under Windows Host
1. Shut down VirtualBox.
2. Make a copy of the VDI file – just in case (“MyLinux.vdi” -> “MyLinuxCopy.vdi“)
3. Go into the Windows command prompt (Start->type “cmd” into the box)
4. cd to the location of the VDI file that you wish to resize, e.g., “d:\MyLinux.vdi“
5. At the Windows command prompt, type:
D:\>VBoxmanage modifyhd MyLinux.vdi --resize 100000
this will re-size the drive to 100 GB. Pick a value that suits you. Note, your vdi file will not change in size at this point.
The output should look like:
D:\>VBoxmanage modifyhd MyLinux.vdi --resize 100000
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%
