Hi,

When the vitual hdd is defined during VM creation, I selected a dynamically 
allocated VDI. As far as I can tell, the size selected will be the maximum size 
of the hdd on the host and that less space will be allocated initially and 
extended as needed during guest operation. Correct?

My situation is a VM with a dynamically allocated hdd of 384GB. Right now it's 
at 45GB or so but is trying to extend the size. The guest is reporting disk 
problems and out of space problems and has now changed one partition to read 
only. What I think is happening is that the guest has a code path which Virtual 
Box intercepts, does some magic to add space, restart the operation. This is 
apparently NOT happening. The path through Virtual Box may or may not be trying 
to handle this situation but then appears to let the error(s) continue through 
the guest OS (5.12.0-0.rc5.180.fc35.x86_64).

Here's what the host thinks of the partition where the VDI is located:

Filesystem                         1K-blocks        Used   Available  
Really_Available Use% Mount_Point
/dev/sda8                         1735405656   485065980  1250569508        
1250339676  28% /export/home

The guest thinks it's VDI is:

Filesystem     1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2        1992552   164592   1706720   9% /
/dev/sda7       65478188 14001584  48104780  23% /usr
/dev/sda1        1992552   149816   1721496   9% /boot
/dev/sda8      184666464 19495796 155717356  12% /export/home
/dev/sda5       65478188   751092  61355272   2% /var
/dev/sda6       65478188   936844  61169520   2% /opt


Which is considerably less than 384GB.

Additionally, the guest is throwing numerous messages like these:

Of course there are more of all of these messages available in a file. I'm not 
sure how I would attach a file to this mailing list though.

Can someone take a look at all this and render some assistance please?

Best regards,

George...
