I am using virtual box and my Host Device is : Windows 10 Guest Device is : Ubuntu 21.04

I am new to Ubuntu and i have recently installed oracle virtualbox and used Ubuntu as my guest device. At the start as i just wanted to test, I set the hard disk space 10 gb and just after the installation I saw that only 2 gigs of storage is left.

So in virtual box i increased my storage to to 20gb. Now after retarting when i go to disks application in Ubuntu, I see that the free space is partioned. So I tried to resize (increase) my primary hardrive which has 2 gigs left but it gives me an error.

To be more specific, these screen shots may help you :

I request you all you please help me in this issue also i dont want to create a new virtual box machine. I am a beginner also this is my first ever question asked.

Thankyou
Akshay

  • The recommended size for a Ubuntu desktop install has been 25GB since 17.10 so the issue should have been expected. To increase size you boot a *live* system (so your disk is not being used, allowing easy re-size). This is possible even if using a VM – guiverc Jul 25 '21 at 05:31
  • Thanks for the comment , but I dont know how to boot a live system in ubuntu / virtual box as i have recently switched from windows to linux – Akshay Malviya Jul 25 '21 at 05:35
  • The options to do that are done on your HOST OS (windows 10) in the settings for that VM. – guiverc Jul 25 '21 at 05:37
