Hi Peter,
Have you tried using *VBoxManage clonehd* subcommand instead? I think you
cannot resize a fixed VDI disk directly before cloning it to a dynamic VDI.
Something like this:
*VBoxManage clonehd opt.vdi opt-dynamic.vdi --format VDI --variant Standard*
After that you can then resize it to your needs:
*VBoxManage modifyhd opt-dynamic.vdi --resize 8192*
Please do note that cloning a VDI will generate a new UUID for the cloned
VDI. Hopefully removing the original VDI from the VM and attaching the
cloned VDI will not make issues on your VM.
Hope it helps.
