As I recall, if you have the VM sharing, it doesn’t set an upper limit.

So if you set up a Windows VM with a 40GB automatically expanding drive Windows will say it's a 40GB drive but on the Mac it might initially only use 10GB. As you add apps and such it will grow but only up to 40GB. I've never run into this but I assume Windows will start to complain when you get near the limit. So how much free space do you currently have on your mac HD? CB On 12/12/14, 1:42 PM, Bill Holton wrote: Hi. My VM is set to expand automatically. Both of my drives, data and OS, are fairly crowded, so wondering which I should concentrate on pruning.

When you first set up the virtual machine you tell it how much of your Mac's disk space you will allow it to use. In any case, you can quickly verify this by doing Get Info (command-I) from the finder on your Mac's drive to find out how much is left. If you really are out of room on your virtual machine you'll need to do some cleanup. I suspect changing the drive size of the virtual machine is a non-trivial bit of work, as it is on any non-Mac machine. CB On 12/12/14, 1:04 PM, Bill Holton wrote: Hi. When I get an error stating my disk is nearly full, are they referring to the disk the app is on, my OS drive, or the drive the VM file is on, my Data drive? Thanks.
