VMWare - Increase in Drive space

[feriso]

Morning,

Just a quick question I have Linux installed in VMWare and running out of space on *** virtual drive, is it possible to enlarge the space give to the OS without corrupting it? e.g. just change summat in the settings.

you can add another virtual drive?

I did a quick search on the vmware forums and found a guy saying there is a cmd line utility called "vmware-vdiskmanager.exe" which (with a default install) will be in the "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server" folder. If you click here you'll see the thread I found.

One guy's done a GUI for the cmd line program, you can find that right here.

Obviously, I would recommend you make a copy of the virtual disk files before trying it
