If you're using Boot2Docker with a large number of images, or the images you're working
with are very large, you might run into trouble if the Boot2Docker VM's volume runs out of
space. The solution is to increase the volume size by first cloning it, then resizing it
using a disk partitioning tool. We'll use (GParted)[http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php/index.php]
using a disk partitioning tool. We'll use [GParted](http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php/index.php)
since it's a free ISO and works well with VirtualBox.
## 1. Stop Boot2Docker’s VM:
## 1. Stop Boot2Docker’s VM
$ boot2docker stop
Boot2Docker ships with a VMDK image, which can’t be resized by VirtualBox’s native tools. We will instead create a VDI volume and clone the VMDK volume to it.

## 2. Using the VirtualBox command line tools, clone the VMDK image to a VDI image:
## 2. Clone the VMDK image to a VDI image
$ vboxmanage clonehd /full/path/to/boot2docker-hd.vmdk /full/path/to/<newVDIimage>.vdi —format VDI —variant Standard
Using the command line VirtualBox tools, clone the VMDK image to a VDI image:
## 3. Resize the new clone volume, choosing 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 clonehd /full/path/to/boot2docker-hd.vmdk /full/path/to/<newVDIimage>.vdi -—format VDI -—variant Standard
$ vboxmanage modifyhd /full/path/to/<newVDIimage>.vdi —resize <size in MB>
## 3. Resize the new clone volume
## 4. Download a disk partitioning tool ISO, like (GParted)[http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php/]. Add the ISO to the Boot2Docker VM’s IDE bus. You might need to create the bus before you can add the ISO.

## 5. Add the new VDI image to the Boot2Docker image in VirtualBox.

To resize the volume, you'll need a disk partitioning tool like [GParted](http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php/).
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.
## 6. Verify in the Settings for the Boot2Docker VM that CD/DVD is the at the top of the **Boot Order** list.

## 5. Add the new VDI image
## 7. Start the Boot2Docker VM in VirtualBox, and the disk partitioning ISO should start up. Using GParted, choose the **GParted Live (default settings)** option. Choose the default keyboard, language, and XWindows settings, and the GParted tool will start up and display the new VDI volume you created. Right click on the VDI and choose **Resize/Move**. Drag the slider representing the volume to its maximum size, click **Resize/Move**, and then **Apply**. Quit GParted and shut down the VM. Remove the GParted ISO from the IDE controller for the Boot2Docker VM in VirtualBox.

## 8. Start the Boot2Docker VM, either in VirtualBox or using the command line (`boot2docker start`) to make sure the volume changes took effect.

## 6. Verify the boot order
In the **System** settings for the Boot2Docker VM, make sure that **CD/DVD** is the at the top of the **Boot Order** list.

## 7. Boot to the disk partitioning ISO
Manually start the Boot2Docker VM, and the disk partitioning ISO should start up.
Using GParted, choose the **GParted Live (default settings)** option. Choose the
default keyboard, language, and XWindows settings, and the GParted tool will start
up and display the new VDI volume you created. Right click on the VDI and choose

## 8. Start the Boot2Docker VM
Either directly in VirtualBox or using the command line (`boot2docker start`), start the Boot2Docker
VM to make sure the volume changes took effect.
You’re done!
