[Resolved] cant create diskimage (static) or expand dynamic on Fedora 31

Hi!

Installed VBox on Fedora 31 by using the official repos. Added my user to 'vboxusers'-group.
VBox is running and working fine if I use a dynamic harddisk-image. Until the dynamic image starts to expand - then a error occours that the image cant expand.

So I tried to do a workaround by creating a static image. At the moment of the creation, the follwoing error occours:

Die virtuelle Festplatte konnte nicht erzeugt werden: /home/XXXX/VirtualBox-VMs/UbuntuJobview/UbuntuJobview.vdi.

Could not create the medium storage unit '/home/XXXX/VirtualBox-VMs/UbuntuJobview/UbuntuJobview.vdi'.

VDI: disk would overflow creating image '/home/XXXX/VirtualBox-VMs/UbuntuJobview/UbuntuJobview.vdi' (VERR_DISK_FULL).

VDI: setting image size failed for '/home/XXXX/VirtualBox-VMs/UbuntuJobview/UbuntuJobview.vdi' (VERR_DISK_FULL).

Fehlercode:VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004)
Komponente:MediumWrap
Interface:IMedium {ad47ad09-787b-44ab-b343-a082a3f2dfb1}

Any ideas to fix this? Thank you for inputs!

The volume containing your /home folder has not enough free space.

Will do a new LV, think then all will work. Thanks for the precius hint!
