Is it possible to rezise the VM disk size? #37
Comments
Hi Ólafur, Thanks for your interest and kind words. Sorry I'm not quite clear what you mean by "VM's partition" - do you mean the Qemu disk you're trying to install into? If so, then
There are some guides for growing disks with So the answer is probably yes: and a VM is a good place to learn and practice these valuable skills. You probably want to snapshot and/or backup your VM disk before you start and plan to need more than one attempt. You might also find that starting afresh with a bigger disk parameter is quicker, easier, and ultimately gets you to a larger working VM without fear of some nasty surprise further down the line. You could also consider unzipping whatever it is you're trying to install on the host and accessing it from within the VM (in the mapped Public area or using Samba or similar file sharing mechanism to access from within the VM), or using the SPICE client to pass a USB disk with enough room into the VM. Hope that helps. If I've misinterpreted your situation please correct me (and providing details of your host OS, the VM OS etc and including the output of running the vm from the cli ( |
@olividir was the answer above enough for you? |
Probably, my question to resize became obsolete before I got the answer. |
Ok, merry Christmas, and feel free to re-open an issue if you need to. |
Hello, awesome program.
I am wondering, can I resize the VM's partition? I am actually trying to install a program on my Ubuntu inside of Quickgui, but the zip file is over 8 GB in size. When I try to unzip it, the system says not enough space.
I installed the program through AUR (quickgui-bin) and is default in German (can't find any menu to change it). The other version would not install.
Is this possible?
