I have vbox running on a Win7 host with a Ubuntu guest. I'm trying to increase the size of a dynamic disk from 6 Gigs to 25Gigs following the directions I found here: http://www.ifusio.com/blog/resize-your- ... tualbox-vm. The disk was vmdk format so I converted it to vdi then resized it. Running showhdinfo shows the logical size of 25Gigs as expected. I booted into the guest using GParted and resized the partition. Upon booting into the guest normally, running fdisk -l shows the new size. But running df -h shows the old size of 6 Gigs with 5.8 Gigs used:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 6.0G 5.8G 133M 98% /
udev 2.0G 4.0K 2.0G 1% /dev
tmpfs 807M 796K 806M 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 2.0G 260K 2.0G 1% /run/shm
/dev/sdc1 20G 3.1G 17G 16% /home
shared 466G 33G 433G 8% /mnt/shared
And if I look at the system monitor in the Ubuntu guest, I'm also seeing dev/sda1 to be 5.8 Gigs used with 133Megs free.
Any ideas why the discrepancy? Is there an additional step I need to take to get the disk to show it's full 25Gig size?
Thanks,
Mickey
Resizing dynamic storage
Re: Resizing dynamic storage
Disregard. I'm a moron. It helps to actually click Apply after resizing the disk in gparted.
