! "Resize harddisk"
Sooner or later you run into the situation that your guest's hda is full, and you need a larger one.\\
Do the following :
* create a new (larger) vdi ''vb createhd --filename HardDisks/ubuntu910disk.vdi --size 1500M --remember''
* attach it to the guest: ''vb modifyvm --hdb HardDisks/ubuntu910disk.vdi''
* boot the VM
* logon and copy disks : ''sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=2M''
* shutdown VM
* reassign disk for VM:
** ''vb modifyvm ubuntu910_minimal --hda none --hdb none
** ''vb modifyvm ubuntu910_minimal --hda HardDisks/ubuntu910disk.vdi''
* reboot the VM
* now the physical disk is larger, but you are not there yet (this guest uses LVM :-) ) :
* ''fdisk /dev/sda3'' , create new primary partition (nr3), write partition table and quit
* signal the kernel that partition table has changed : ''partprobe''
* create new physical volume : ''pvcreate /dev/sda3''
* add it to the existing volume group ''vgextend ubuntuminimal /dev/sda3''
* extend the logical volume: ''lvextend --size +532M /dev/ubuntuminimal/root''
* resize the filesystem: ''resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntuminimal-root 1160M''
