wget nano tree shutdown -r now Re-attach the ISO in VirtualBox/VMware Fusion. The final step is hitting the "Apply" button, confirm everything, cross fingers and wait for the operations to succeed. Thanks to docker you may create such images on Windows, OSX or linux. In this step, we move /dev/sda5 inside /dev/sda2 to right end:Īfter clicking Resize/Move now we shrink /dev/sda2 to the size of /dev/sda5 by moving the left arrow to the right until it is blocked:Īfter clicking "Resize/Move" again, we finally can expand /dev/sda1 to the right: Now we select /dev/sda5 and click Resize/Move again: Next, we increase the size of /dev/sda2 to use all available space: What we want to achieve now, is to merge the 10 GB unallocated space at the end of the list to the /dev/sda1 partition.įirst, we'll select /dev/sda2 (NOT /dev/sda5!): If you're running Ubuntu in your VM, it is likely that there might be a swap partition ( /dev/sda5 here) between the main partition and the aforementioned created, unallocated new space and your partitions might look like this: This will delay the boot sequence for 2000 ms and show the options. Note: Ensure that you have enough free space available on the physical disk to perform the operation. Use the slider to adjust the size of the virtual disk. Go to Fusion Menu > Virtual Machine > Settings. If the boot sequence is to fast, you can add this line to your VMs. Select the virtual machine in the Virtual Machine Library. You can select the boot device if you hit ESC right after powering on the VM. To manage the partitions, we're using GParted, which is available as bootable ISO-Image.Īssign the downloaded ISO in your VMware CD-ROM drive and boot from it. Even if I ask it to resize to just 16 GB it tells me there isnt enough space on the disk to do the expansion. I shut down Vista and in the Fusion preferences tried to resize the disk. Vista is now telling me the C drive has less than 1 GB of free space. ![]() ![]() Now we have some more space for partitions in our VM but we want to increase the size of an existing partition. When I installed Fusion over a year ago I set the disk size to 15 GB. Just stop the VM, click the expand button and increase as required: Luckily, on the host there's always enough space available which can be assigned to an existing VM (isn't it?).Įxpanding the partition in the VMware Hardware options / hard disk details is pretty easy. It's also casual that projects grow and you run out of disk space inside the VMs. Nowadays it's casual to use VMs for development environments. TL DR Hard Disk space can only be replaced with more Hard Disk spaceĭisclaimer: If you're doing things wrong described here you'll loose your data - create a backup first!
