to resize a vmdk virtual hard disk file
- shutdown the VM
VBoxManage clonehd "source.vmdk" "cloned.vdi" --format vdi VBoxManage modifyhd "cloned.vdi" --resize 51200
if you want to keep vmdk : then
VBoxManage clonehd "cloned.vdi" "resized.vmdk" --format vmdk
you will need in fact two, if you are with a degraded array
VBoxManage clonehd "cloned.vdi" "cloned2.vdi"
The above will resize the hard disk up to 50GB (50 * 1024MB).
- Then you have to resize the drive inside the VM, so add your new drives and start the VM
- you will have to play with the array by first resize partition of the second disk ( if you are a degraded array mod, then first resize the partitions, add to array, sync, then remove old)
- then simply resize the file system
if you are using a raid only mode :
resize2fs /dev/md3
if you have no raid no lvm resize2fs /dev/sda2
if you are using a raid lvm mode
pvresize /dev/md1 pvresize /dev/md2 lvresize -l +$(vgdisplay -c vg_primary | cut -d: -f16) vg_primary/lv_root ext2online -C0 /dev/mapper/vg_primary-lv_root
