Disk size

Closed this issue · 1 comments

how can you increase the size of the disk?

GUI commented

These base box images are built with a root disk that's growable to 500GB (and the /vagrant share should be as large as your host machine's disk). If you need a larger root disk, there are a couple options:

  1. If you're open to creating a new base box image using veewee, that might be the easiest option. In that case, you can use our CentOS defintions found in this repo, and you just need to adjust the disk_size option before using veewee to build the box. See definition.rb for the disk_size option.
  2. If you want to resize the root disk on an existing VM, the basic process is to convert the disk to a VDI image, resize it, and then use another tool to resize the partition inside the VM (to take advantage of the larger disk). Here are more detailed instructions.

I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any further questions.
