When you double click on disks to open, it displays your current hard drive disks, the allocated space and newly added free space.
Once the VM is up and running, log in and search for disks as shown We need to use it to resize our initial virtual disk. What we have done above is just to allocate extra storage space. Step 3: Resize the Virtual Disk for the VM To do this, drag the pointer on size up to the desired GBs. In my case, I have selected Arch Linux.vdi to use as an example.Īs you can see, it has a space of 21.07 GB. Under harddisks, select the virtual disk image that you wish to increase. On VirtualBox, click on file and select Virtual Media Manager Once the VM is shut down, we need to add the extra disk space that we need. We first need to add extra space to the virtual disk and for this the VM should be shut down otherwise the option will not be active. The other method is use the VM GUI for both adding extra space and resizing, which is actually the easier option and it is what we are going to discuss in this article. The first method is combining VBoxManagecommand with gpartedand is a bit complex. Increasing VM Virtual Disk Space on VirtualBox It is a very simple process that takes you a very short time to finish. In this article, we are going to look at exactly that. But what happens when your VM runs out of storage? How can you increase the virtual disk space of a virtual machine in VirtualBox. When creating virtual machines on VirtualBox, we normally define a certain amount of virtual disk space that we want for each virtual machine.
