================= phpvirtualbox side =================<\/p>\n
For phpvirtualbox you should use the command line commands:
\nRoot or use sudo<\/p>\n
\n\nVBoxManage clonehd [old.vmdk] [newVDI]\nor\nVBoxManage clonehd [old.vdi] [newVDI]\n\nVBoxManage modifyhd [VDI] --resize [60000]\n#60000 = 60gb\n\nVBoxManage clonehd [new-VDI] [newnew-VDI] --variant Fixed\n<\/pre>\nAfter that return to the phpvirtualbox. You have to go to virtualbox->VM settings->storage->click on VM.vdi and remove, than add the newVDI.<\/p>\n
On right side, you will get disk icon, just click on it and browse your new VDI that has been created after resizing(new-VDI or newnew-VDI in above case)<\/p>\n
================= Linux Side =================<\/p>\n
NOTE 1: Take a backup of your system if you can. If it a VM on Azure or any other cloud services provider, take the snapshot of the OS disk<\/p>\n
NOTE 2: The reason for the backup is to roll back if anything goes wrong. If your filesystem is healthy, it is very rare for an issue to occur. These steps are the steps I usually take and have used in a production environment before and was successful. So, no worries.<\/p>\n
NOTE 3: When you use the \u201cd\u201d option to delete the partition and use the \u201cn\u201d option afterward, what you are doing is actually creating a partition table and remains in memory and not deleting the whole partition, so no worries.<\/p>\n
