How to resize virtualbox guest storage which is splited
My host is windows 10 and guest is Mint 19 cinnamon 64 bit. When I made this guest I selected my storage size 100 GB, formate VMDK, and split the file in 2 GB. So now I have many .vmdk files such as mint19.vmdk, mint19-s001.vmdk, mint19-s002.vmdk ...... mint19-s0051.vmdk.
Now I would like to resize this to 150 GB. I found many links online. But no link about the split vmdk. Perhaps according to online forum vmdk needs to be converted to vdi format. By the following command:-
vboxmanage clonehd mint19.vmdk "new-virtualdisk.vdi" --format vdi
I tired. It failed by the following output:
0%...10%...20%...30%...
Progress state: VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR
VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to clone medium
VBoxManage.exe: error: Could not create the clone medium 'C:UserseluihsmVirtualBox VMsmint19new-virtualdisk.vdi' (VERR_DISK_FULL)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80bb0004), component MediumWrap, interface IMedium
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "enum RTEXITCODE __cdecl handleCloneMedium(struct HandlerArg *)" at line 990 of file VBoxManageDisk.cpp
For another try, I try to use one first split file as:
vboxmanage clonehd mint19-s001.vmdk "new-virtualdisk.vdi" --format vdi
It failed immediately. With the following error:
VBoxManage.exe: error: Could not get the storage format of the medium 'C:UserseluihsmVirtualBox VMsmint19mint19-s001.vmdk' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005), component MediumWrap, interface IMedium, callee IUnknown
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "OpenMedium(Bstr(pszFilenameOrUuid).raw(), enmDevType, enmAccessMode, fForceNewUuidOnOpen, pMedium.asOutParam())" at line 179 of file VBoxManageDisk.cpp
Also, I tried as admin console and nonadmin console. The same result. Of course, my guest was shut down while trying this process.
So how to resize my storage from 100 GB to 150GB?

You understand this process creates a clone, so not only do you need the space for the original copy, but you need space for the new copy.VERR_DISK_FULLindicates the physical disk you are trying to create the virtual HDD is full. Any command you perform must be done onmint19.vmdk

After you make room for the new clone on your disk, you should also use--format VMDKinstead of--format vdi, no reason to use--format vdiin a case like this
