How to increase the size of manually assigned vdisk??
So I watched the video but this apparently only works when primary vdisk location is set to "auto", in which case increasing the size is fairly straightforward. How do you increase the size of a manually assigned vdisk??
Near as I can tell if you set a manually assigned vdisk there is no way to increase it's size and the only way to increase capacity is to add a second vdisk...

I had to google that one a few months ago.
(In the VM tab) You have to click the VMs name. Now you see the "Disk Devices" underneath it. While the VM is stopped you can click the capacity and change it.
4 years later, thanks!
It's worth noting I had to hit "ENTER" to save the change in disk space. Simply clicking out of the box with my mouse wouldn't save anything. Took me longer than I want to admit to figure that out...
4 years later, thanks as well!
Thanks, I don't know why this is "hidden" in a very not obvious place.
Thank you sir!
Thank you very much!
Stop the VM, go to the VM tab in the GUI and expand the disks. Where it lists the capacity, click it and it'll become a text box which you can enter a new larger size (can't shrink this way) Then start the VM and expand the partition into the new free space.
If that doesn't work then from command line
to add 10GB to the size, or specify the new total size without the plus, for example:
will set vdisk1.img to 120GB
There is always a SpaceInvaderOne video......Googled "SpaceInvaderOne Shrink Expand" first result

That doesn't work in this application because I have manually assigned the vdisk rather than letting it default to "auto".In the "Edit VM" option the size is unavailable, but u/the_harakiwi answered it:
