dynamic disk not expanding

Post by xxhoffmann »

Hi. I could use some advise on my issue

My host = win7
My guest: Oracle linux 6.4
Configured dynamic disk to 513Gb. Current actual size = 51Gb

However disk doesn't expand.

I have tried to use vboxmanage modifyhd <path\filename> --resize 513000mb but this failed.
I also tried the cloneVDi tool. Checked "increase virtual disk drive to 513.38 GB"....but for some reason, disk size doesn't exceed 51Gb.

Surely I have rebooted both guest and host several times : :)

anyone with some good advise/pointers?
