    Thanks for opening a separate report, however please provide details, screenshots (as appropriate), diagnostic.zip (as appropriate).  I realize you might have posted this stuff elsewhere and I realize your time is valuable.  However it's not all gathered together and it would save me a lot time trying to figure what is the issue you are reporting.

    Here is a description of your issue I think:

     

    From VM manager click on the name of a stopped VM.  This brings up the "Disk Devices" section where all the attached vdisks are displayed.  Click on one of the Capacity sizes for a vdisk (rollover says "click to increase").

    When you do this, the page scrolls back to the top, but if you scroll back down you can enter a number in the field, but after doing so and hitting enter, the page goes totally blank.  There is also a corresponding error message in the system log:
     

    Mar 21 00:25:36 Test1 root: error: /VMs?subaction=disk-resize


    Result is the vdisk size was not changed and you have to click Back in browser.

    yes, so any fix for that error 

     

    Workaround until we fix it is to use the fallocate shell command to extend the size of the vdisk file.

    fallocate -l xxG /path/to/vdisk.img

    Replace xx with new size you want.

    i did that, type fallocate -l 100G "/mnt/user/Windows 10/vdisk1.img" and then enter = 

    root@brun3tte:~#, is that a -L or a -1

    I believe it is an L for length (aka size), from the man page:

     

    -l, --length length
                  Specifies the length of the range, in bytes.

    It's a lower case L, copy/past the code I posted above, there will be no output after typing it, just refresh the VM page and you'll see the new size.

    ok but i got to shut off the vm first and paste it in the terminal commands, never mind i got it change = me an idiot, i was suppose to put fallocate -l 500G "/mnt/user/Windows 10/vdisk1.img"

    Also need to go into windows disk manager and extend partition size.  But we are now getting beyond scope of this issue right?  And you could  have 'googled' fallocate command and learned all about it.
