Increasing the Windows VM’s disk space is a two part process, first you have to increase the virtual disk (vdi) where Windows is installed. Here, I will give you the step by step instructions for increasing the disk space of Windows in VirtualBox on macOS.

In more recent version of VirtualBox, you have a Virtual Media Manager that cab resize the disk for you (I spotted it in V6.x but I’m unsure as for when it was added).

VDI file will grow over time) The VM OS is Windows 7 New graphical user interface to resize. Sudo: /Library/Application\ Support//bin/qemu-img-hyperkit: command not found The virtual machine has a dynamically allocated disk (which means that the. Sudo /Library/Application\ Support//bin/qemu-img-hyperkit resize /var/root/Library/Application\ Support/multipassd/vault/instances/ubuntu18/ 40G Sudo /Library/Application\ Support//bin/qemu-img-hyperkit resize /var/root/Library/Application\ Support/multipassd/vault/instances/ubuntu18/ tried and the result was: Using qemu-img-hyperkit and copying the image via create with option -o lazy_refcounts=on fixed the header size for me and my instance was bootable again. It appears that Multipass creates the images with lazy refcounts: true, which while faster does mean more chances of corruption with power loss. Virtual hard disks are stored as files on the host computer or on a network file server.

Workstation Pro supports up to four IDE devices, 60 SCSI devices, 120 SATA devices, and 60 NVMe virtual disks. I found that the Failure "Read a header_length of 112 but we computed 104" error occurs when the qcow2 image has been created with lazy refcounts: false. To increase storage space, you can add a new virtual hard disk to a virtual machine. Could not open backing file: Invalid argument Could not open mirage-block device: Invalid argument Mirage-block error: Block device is disconnected If the virtual disk file connects to a virtual machines IDE chain, you cannot resize the virtual disk while the virtual machine is online. In the pop-out window, set a maximum space you want, then choose Expand to execute the operation. Select the virtual disk and click Expand in the right panel. Open VMware, choose the virtual machine and click Edit virtual machine settings. A note for anyone else coming here in search of answers, you need to expand the disk using the VM configuration first, then use the above command to tell the OS to use up the new space. hyperkit: Mirage block device raised exception: (Failure "Read a header_length of 112 but we computed 104") Solution 1: Increase the Disk Space in VMware with its Extend Function. This resized my VM disk to use the extra space available. Mirage_block_open: block_config = file:///var/root/Library/Application Support/multipassd/vault/instances/primary/?sync=os&buffered=1 and qcow_config = discard=true compact_after_unmaps=262144 keep_erased=262144 runtime_asserts=false and stats_config = None
