static vhd to dynamic vhd or resize existing vhd
I am currently running also one Ubuntu 16.04 server OS in VirtualBox on Ubuntu Linux host running out of diskspace. I was wondering for best practice how to resize exising 30 GB vhd to 120 GB for example or to a dynamic size drive as well that guest OS checks this change.

There's a FAQ that addresses this very question: "How to resize a Virtual Drive".
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

Incidentally, "best practice" would dictate discarding the unreliable "vhd" format. Stick to VDI. I've no idea why anyone would voluntarily choose VHD on a Linux host!
