I know how to expand a W10 vdisk in unRAID and then use computer management to expand.  For a pfSense VM, after expanding the image size in unRAID, do I need to do anything similar in pfSense to utilise the extra space?

 

Thanks

Probably. The easiest way I know to deal with it is set up a new VM with a gparted live iso as the install disk and specify the pfsense vdisk file as the primary drive.

thanks, but you lost me there as I think you've exceeded my technical skills!  I'm going to try creating a new VM whilst the first is running and then copy across a backup file

That's another way to accomplish it.

 

Where did I lose you? What I'm proposing is the physical equivalent to temporarily pulling the hard drive out of the pfsense box, putting it into another computer and booting a utility cd to manipulate the partition, then putting the drive back in the pfsense box.
