This is a limitation of the current version of Virtualbox. Unfortunatery the virtual machine needs to be down. # VBoxManage modifyhd MY_NEW_DISK.vdi -resize and then extend it to the new size running: # VBoxManage clonehd MY_DISK.vdi MY_NEW_DISK.vdi -variant Standard If you have "fixed size" you can only clone it to dynamically allocated with the command: On Virtualbox you can extend only "dynamically allocated" virtual disks. For this example we will resize the existing virtual disk. We could add a new -extra- virtual disk to our system and then extend the filesystem on the new disk. The system is installed on a single 8GB virtual hard drive with lvm and we need to resize it to 10GB. rw-r-r- 1 root root 1048576 Jun 5 21:54 zero.As an example we are using a CentOS 7 default installation.

Just trying to append a 1M file of zeros, give me: # ls -l VaultData.vdi zero.dat The file itself has been copied in, so it has been converted to "extents": # lsattr -d VaultData.vdi The filesystem reports: # tune2fs -l /dev/vg/vaultįilesystem UUID: 8af05557-a5d0-433a-8e5b-c03ddc3b3146įilesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent sparse_super large_file uninit_bgįilesystem created: Wed Jan 8 16:35:18 2014 The server is giving an error "file too large" trying to expand it any further. So, I have an ext4 formatted file system, with a 2TB file on it (VDI disk image).
