Virtualbox 虚拟机扩容，解决 Low disk space on “Filesystem root”问题

问题描述

创建虚拟机时，选择的硬盘空间小，随着使用内存空间占用变得变少，进入虚拟机，会提醒“Low disk space on “Filesystem root””

解决方法^[1]

1. Open cmd as administrator.
2. Go to the folder where the VirtualBox is installed so you can use the VBoxManage program.
3. From there, run the following command:

VBoxManage modifyhd <file path and name> --resize <size in MB>
e.g.: VBoxManage modifyhd C:\V-MACHINES\SERVER2008\WIN-2008.VDI --resize 26000

<file path and name> 可以在 Virtual box 设置中找到

VDI 安装路径

4. You will see a message from 0 to 100% and done.

5. Start your machine and go to "Computer" (or "My Computer", if applicable), right click and select "Manage", go to "Storage" → "Disk Management", right click on the disk you want to expand, click on "Extend Volume" and resize the disk as you wish.
   

6. If necessary restart the VM.
