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.

$ 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>

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.

## 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.

## 6. Verify the boot order
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

## 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
|
||||||
|
**Resize/Move**. Drag the slider representing the volume to its maximum size, click
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
the GParted ISO from the IDE controller for the Boot2Docker VM in VirtualBox.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 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.
