I'm running VMware server 1.0.4. I have a virtual machine running windows server 2003. The current disk size is about 155GB and I want to crease it 45GB to 200GB or so, I have 70GB free so I have enough space.
So I run: vmware-vdiskmanager -x 200Gb machine.vmdk
But I get "Failed to expand the disk 'machine.vmdk': There is not enough space on the file system for the selected operation (13)."
Any idea why? Why can't it just make it bigger? Does it need a bunch of working space too?
My vdiskmanager.log:
