After loading Ubuntu in VirtualBox, found that the hard disk space is too small, how to increase the capacity of hard disk? That's to build another hard drive.

After loading Ubuntu in VirtualBox, I found that the hard disk space is too small to increase the capacity of the hard disk. That is to build another hard drive:

1. Add a new hard drive

Settings, Storage, SATA controller, right-click, select “ Add virtual hard disk ”

Then, create the right hard drive on demand

2. Restart the virtual machine

To view disk space for an existing system

sudo fdisk-l

You can see the newly added virtual hard disk, the general name is: Disk/dev/sdb

3. Add a new hard drive partition

Fdisk/dev/sdb

Type m to see the Help information

Command (M for help): M

Add New partition

Command (M for help): N

Select Basic Partition, enter: P

Build a partition

Partition number (1-4): 1

Enter

First cylinder (1-15908,default 1): Enter

Write and exit

Command (M for help): W

4. Format the partition of the disk

/DEV/SDB1 into format using the EXT4 format

sudo mkfs.ext4/dev/sdb1

5. Mount Partitions

Create a new mount point

sudo mkdir/work

Mount the new disk partition under the/work directory

sudo mount-t ext4/dev/sdb1/work

View Mounts

Df-h

You can see the newly added hard drive:/dev/sdb1

6. Auto mount on Boot

Modify a file

sudo vim/etc/fstab

In the last line join:

/dev/sdb1/work ext4 Errors=remount-ro 0 1

Complete!
