first cloning it, then resizing it using a disk partitioning tool.

$ vboxmanage clonehd /full/path/to/boot2docker-hd.vmdk /full/path/to/<newVDIimage>.vdi -—format VDI -—variant Standard

## 3. Resize the VDI volume
|

|

Choose a size that will be appropriate for your needs. If you’re spinning up a lot of containers,
|
||||
or your containers are particularly large, larger will be better:
|
||||
|
||||
$ vboxmanage modifyhd /full/path/to/<newVDIimage>.vdi —-resize <size in MB>

## 4. Download a disk partitioning tool ISO

Once you've downloaded the tool, add the ISO to the Boot2Docker VM’s IDE bus.

You might need to create the bus before you can add the ISO. **Note:** It's

## 8. Start the Boot2Docker VM
|

Fire up the Boot2Docker VM manually in VirtualBox. The VM should log in automatically, but

the credentials are ``docker/tcuser`` if it doesn't. Using the ``df -h`` command, verify
