Increasing disk size of FC14 image running under Win7

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've installed VirtualBox on a Win7 workstation and established a running FC14 VM.  Everything was fine until I tried doing a yum upgrade and then I discovered my boot partition needed to be at least 7GB! to be able to perform the upgrade.

I've already gone into the VirtualBox interface and increased the virtual disk size, but does anyone have any working hints on using the GParted iso to increase the size of my VM boot partition? 

Also, why didn't FC14 establish an adequately sized boot partition during installation?  Seems odd the default install would be setup to create a boot partition too small to ever perform a subsequent upgrade.  Did I miss something?  Is there a way to point yum to some other place on disk to allow the upgrade to complete?


Thanks - Tod
