Expanding the VMware Fusion disk on Mac OS X

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

I recently ran out of space on my virtual disk. I had over 60 gigs available in Mac OS X itself but my virtual disk was only 3gb. To expand the size of my virtual disk, I used the cli utility vmware-vdiskmanager.

Here's the command I ran on my Mac to expand the virtual disk.

"/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmware-vdiskmanager" -x 10Gb /Users/myuser/Documents/Virtual\ Machines/xp/xp.vmdk"
