Resize vagrant disk storage (hard drive) with Virtual Box provider and Windows guest.

Before you start whole process of resizing disk storage you have to stop your VM.

Also you need to know your VM name.

It can be checked with:

VBoxManage list vms
"YOUR_VM_NAME" {385e587a-ad47-4d36-a734-a126b9e04590}

Usually vagrant boxes comes with VMDK type storage which cannot be resized.
You need to convert the format to resizeable VDI:

VBoxManage  clonehd "/root/VirtualBox VMs/YOUR_VM_NAME/packer-virtualbox-iso-1459796137-disk1.vmdk" "/root/VirtualBox VMs/YOUR_VM_NAME/packer-virtualbox-iso-1459796137-disk1.vdi" --format vdi
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100% Clone medium created in format 'vdi'. UUID: 67985552-a3e5-4fad-aedd-82565ac963d4
 packer-virtualbox-iso-1459796137-disk1.vmdk is a hdd disk file. Your file name can differ slightly. packer-virtualbox-iso-1459796137-disk1.vdi is new disk file that will be created in VDI format.

Now it's time to resize the disk image. 
VBoxManage modifymedium /root/VirtualBox\ VMs/YOUR_VM_NAME/packer-virtualbox-iso-1459796137-disk1.vdi --resize 163840
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100% 163840 is new disk size in MB.

Now you need to convert the disk image back to VMDK. 
REMEMBER: Use new name of file   
VBoxManage  clonehd "/root/VirtualBox VMs/YOUR_VM_NAME/packer-virtualbox-iso-1459796137-disk1.vdi" "/root/VirtualBox VMs/YOUR_VM_NAME/packer-virtualbox-iso-1459796137-disk2.vmdk" --format vmdk
Attach new storage and remove old one. 
VBoxManage storageattach YOUR_VM_NAME --storagectl "IDE Controller" --device 0 --port 0 --type hdd --medium "/root/VirtualBox VMs/YOUR_VM_NAME/packer-virtualbox-iso-1459796137-disk2.vmdk"
rm "/root/VirtualBox VMs/YOUR_VM_NAME/packer-virtualbox-iso-1459796137-disk1.vmdk"
Now :
Run the VM (for example: `vagrant up`). In our case it is a Windows machine. That's why you need to go to the guest system and increase disk size there. Open Disk Management `diskmgmt.msc`. Right click on allocated partition and click Extend Volume.


  • Click right button
  • Choose an "Extend Volume.."
  • Click "Next"
  • Your disk is already extended



Be Sharp Software

    If you use old filename for disk, you may encounter this error on VM startup:

    There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
