VBoxManage: error: Resize hard disk operation for this format is not implemented OL6]$ VBoxManage clonehd OL6HardDisk1.vmdk OL6HardDisk1.vdi -format VDIĠ%.10%.20%.30%.40%.50%.60%.70%.80%.90%.100%Ĭlone hard disk created in format 'VDI'. Here i put you the example that i tested too with a cloned OL6]$ VBoxManage modifyhd OL6HardDisk1.vmdk -resize 51200
Virtualbox increase disk size fedora free#
Now for assign the free space added you need to do it with a live cd and the gparted tool if you are using linux on the guest machine, on windows just with the disk management can do it.įor the VBOX_E_NOT_SUPPORTED error, that's occurred because if you are trying to expand a disk with VMDK format, the 'VBoxManage modifyhd' command don't support this type of format just VDI or VHD, for resize this type of disk format first need to be cloned with the 'VBoxManage clonehd' command specifying the new format and extension for the output harddisk file, then resize the cloned harddisk and add it to the virtual machine (the original disk can be removed from the list without problems before turn on the VM because both virtual disks have the same data stored, just the size is different). Third, add again your virtual disk to the virtual machine and when you have been added you can check that the size is the correct on the properties of the harddisk into your VM.
I already tested a solution for the issue with the resize command, here i explain what i did:įirst, remove your virtual disk from the virtual machine (note: just remove from the list not delete it from your host machine)
