I'm using version 5.0.8 Yes the disk is dynamically allocated I might have misunderstood but as I read the instruction the size must be given in MB. I want a disk size of 32GB
On the page https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html it says VBoxManage modifyhd <uuid|filename> [--type normal|writethrough|immutable|shareable| readonly|multiattach] [--autoreset on|off] [--compact] [--resize <megabytes>|--resizebyte <bytes>] Note Despite the "hd" in the subcommand name, the command works with all disk images, not only hard disks. For compatibility with earlier versions of VirtualBox, the "modifyvdi" command is also supported and mapped internally to the "modifyhd" command. 2015-10-28 13:11 GMT+01:00 Cliff Scott <flyer...@gmail.com>: > Which version of VBox are your using? > > VBox 5.0.4 specifies that —resize takes an argument in Megabytes.
