Virtual Disk size not consistent with /dev/sda1
Posted: 3. Oct 2013, 22:48
I am running a Oracle VirtualBox on my Windows machine. Created a Linux VM with hard disk of capacity ~100G.
In settings of VirtualBox the virtual disk size is shown as 100 G, but then df -kh (inside VM) gives:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 5.1G 4.3G 550M 89% /
none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
Not sure why it is Inconsistent and currently I am running out of disk space.
Output of fdisk -l /dev/sda is :
Disk /dev/sda: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders, total 16777216 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
