I have been reading on this issue with resizing the VM disks to use the larger capacity (increased in VMware Guest OS Settings), and most sources I found say this is work in progress and macOS (VMs too) may not allow for partition resize via the GUI for that (yet).Īnd that only Terminal can be used to resize as desired via the command line.ġ) Is there an easy way to resize my main macOS partitions on the several VMs via GUI, such as via the built-in tools OR maybe I third-party tool? So, I tried to use Disk Utility to increase the size of the main (and only) partition to something larger, such as from 84 GBs to 120 GBs/etc but could not do it, it just showed a useless pie chart you cannot resize up (only down). On Windows OS I use EASEUS, AOMEI and many other free disk/partition tools, but most or all of these do not support or work on macOS.Ģ) IF not, what are the correct Terminal commands to up the main (and only) partition size to use the whole amount available, without losing data or apps installed?Įxample expanding vmdk eg from 100GB to 120GB:ġ.

Choose to boot to it (F2 at the VMware logo to access VMware BIOS boot selection, select to boot from CD. Note: You may need to edit the virtual machine's vmx file eg with WordPad, to add the line bios.bootDelay = "3000" -> allows the virtual machine enough time to register key presses during boot up), then open DU in this Recovery Environment.ģ. #INSTALLED VMS ON MAC DISK SPACE FULL WINDOWS 10#. #INSTALLED VMS ON MAC DISK SPACE FULL FULL#.
