"rpool"? What filesystem are we talking about here?

I don't see how that answers my question.

I also notice that your question has nothing whatever to do with Windows hosts and therefore does not belong in the "Windows Hosts" forum. I will move the topic to the "Solaris Guests" forum.

I'm going to guess that the filesystem is ZFS, and since I know nothing about how to enlarge a ZFS filesystem on Solaris, I'm going to have to leave that question to others. I'll only say that I have a vague recollection (and I could be quite wrong) that ZFS is somewhat like LVM, i.e. you don't enlarge drives, you add additional drives to the pool, and then use specialist guest tools to incorporate new drives into existing pools. A Solaris specialist forum should be able to provide details.

Just a hint: The problem here is trying to enlarge a base disk that has snapshots ...

Then you had better read the FAQ that you were directed towards in the first response from Scottgus1.

Re: size not increasing after increasing disk

Post by scottgus1 »

You apparently ran the resize command on "Solaris18c.vdi", but your last screenshot shows data for the Mcor.vdi

Regrettably I don't grok ZFS well yet, only that it exists. Haven't played with it.

The "How to Resize a Disk" tutorial covers the usual disk setups, not ZFS pools. If you read the tutorial, (no confirmation on this question yet btw, have you actually read it?) you'll see there's two steps:
1. resize the virtual disk file
2. resize the partition inside the disk file's OS.

You can check if Virtualbox resized the file with the Media Manager or the command:
vboxmanage showmediuminfo "drive:\path\to\diskfilename.ext"
The "Capacity" output will show the maximum size of the disk.
Either of these should cover step 1.

You handle step 2 inside the VM's OS. How do you resize a ZFS pool? Web-search on that using ZFS help pages.

We can check if the virtual disk file is the correct size.
Post the command you use to resize the disk and the 'vboxmanage showmediuminfo' on the disk file after you resize it.
