vagrant-box-resize

The repository to fixing the vagrant box (linux) root size issue

how to use.

Due to different linux system, you need first manually find out three parameters. Use fillup/centos-6.5-x86_64-minimal as sample, its root filesystem is 3GB.

1. start the vagrant box with init setting.

   vagrant up fillup/centos-6.5-x86_64-minimal --provider=virtualbox

2. find vm id

   $ vboxmanage list vms |awk -F " 'END{print $2}' vagrant-box-resize_default_1426739272237_35766

Use the vm id with below showvminfo command. In this case, it will be SATA. Then update it in Vagrantfile, next to '--storagectl'

$ vboxmanage showvminfo vagrant-box-resize_default_1426739272237_35766|grep Storage
Storage Controller Name (0):            IDE
Storage Controller Type (0):            PIIX4
Storage Controller Instance Number (0): 0
Storage Controller Max Port Count (0):  2
Storage Controller Port Count (0):      2
Storage Controller Bootable (0):        on
Storage Controller Name (1):            SATA
Storage Controller Type (1):            IntelAhci
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"
Storage Controller Instance Number (1): 0
Storage Controller Max Port Count (1):  30
Storage Controller Port Count (1):      1
Storage Controller Bootable (1):        on

3. login the box

   vagrant ssh

4. find "VG name"

   vgdisplay

If there is no output, run vgscan or pvscan, then run vgdisplay again.

5. find mapper name

   cd /dev/mapper ls -l

you get the name as VolGroup-lv_root or other name, depend on.

6. replace the finding in resize.sh file.

7. destroy the box

   vagrant destroy

8. Now you can start the vagrant box properly with your expect size on root.

   vagrant up
