June 3, 20251 yr Hi freinds,I installed windows 11 pro with the binhex-official-windows as a docker container.I initially gave the container 30G of drive C storage for a testing period.Now that I see things are working ok, I tried to enlarge the storage size to 50G in the container settings.However, even thought windows container distinguishes the storage should be 50G, the drive C is still showing as 30G.Can anyone suggest how I can make drive C become 50G as it should be?

If so why not run the container natively under Unraid's Docker sub-system.

June 4, 20251 yr Community Expert You have to expand the partition within the VM, Windows Disk management. That's the same for any VM.

That's the same for any VM.Thank you for this recommendation.I can see I have 20GB of unallocated space.Is there a way to add this free space to Windows C:, and merge them into a single volume of 50GB?The option to Extend Volume is grayed out.

June 4, 20251 yr Community Expert Solution You have to either delete the recovery partition or use 3rd party tools to move it to the end so the free space is contiguous. Edited June 4, 20251 yr by Kilrah
