Resize LVMĪfter boot your virtual machine and log into it, you might notice that your root disk / is still out of fdisk -lĭisk /dev/sda: 48.8 GiB, 52428800000 bytes, 102400000 sectors Now you can check your virtual machine’s storage in VirtualBox panel, if it doesn’t change, close and open VirtualBox again. (Note that using Location instead of UUID might fail with message vboxmanage.exe: error: Could not get the storage format of the medium (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).) You have to specify a value large than current Capacity, because VirtualBox can only increase disk space. Run command VBoxManage.exe modifyhd -resize to resize it.
