In 6.8, the vdisk capacity was a hyperlink that you change at will. Can you still change a vdisk size in the GUI?

 

Thanks in advance

Post a screenshot showing what you mean. It's exactly the same in 6.8 and 6.9 for me.

So it looks like I got the version wrong, but I'm going off of SpaceInvader's video. Here he just clicks into the "Capacity" column and makes the change.

 

 

In my version, I can't see where to click to make that change.

 

 

Thanks for your help.

You can not change de capacity if your virtual is started

That did it - thank you. I thought sure I checked that.

Did this change in 6.9.1?

Hope someone can help me....ive done the steps in my windows vm to shrink the volume but when I try to use sshe and the qemu command to resize it fails and says I need to implicitly state 'raw' to do this....but Im nt sure what the command therefore should be....So I navigated to where my vdisk folder is and type qemu-img resize vdisk1.img 500g (I want to reduce the vm from 800G to 500g).  Then I get the message about it being raw data(it is unallocated in the VM's Disk management so I know it is safe to do.

Please, Im going crazy, so any help would be gratefully received!!!

For anyone stumbling into this now or in the future. the --shrink argument was added to the command.
