In this way we will verify that there is a symbol of a CD ROM, let’s click on this symbol as shown in the figure below. To do this, we will access the virtual machine and click on Storage. Now let’s add the gparted ISO image we just downloaded. In this way, we are going to use gparted to increase our disk partition to be able to occupy the 20 GB.įirst of all let’s go to the gparted website below and download the ISO.

However, we can use any other way of checking disk size.īelow we have the command to check the disk size and we can see that nothing has changed.ĭf -h Checking disk size inside virtual machine Increasing disk partition To check the size of the disk we are using the command “df -h”. That’s because, we still need to increase the size of the disk partition in order to be recognized. If we start the virtual machine and check the disk size, we will verify that nothing has changed. Now let’s increase the size of the virtual disk to 20GB. We can see that the original size of the virtual disk was 10GB. In this example, we are going to increase the size of the virtual disk of the “suricataIPStest” machine. Now, let’s select the virtual machine disk that we want to grow.
