Wie kann eine vorhandene VDI (Virtual Drive) Festplatte in Virtual Box vergrößern? In der GUI der Virtual Box (Version 5.1) gibt es keine Option. Die einzige mir bekannte Lösung ist VBoxManage.exe (C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe).
Der Aufruf erfolgt mit: VBoxManage.exe modifyhd "Absoluten Adresse zu VDI" --resize <neue Größe in MB>
Beispiel um eine vorhandene VDI Festplatte auf 40GB zu erhöhen C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe modifyhd C:\tomas\ubuntu\ubuntu.vdi --resize 40960
