How to expand disk on Kali Linux (VMware)

[@m.parker3349]

OMGness! This was PERFECT! I've never ever even heard of Kali Linux....i worked with RHEL and was given complex instructions. I did a quick google search and this was EXACTLY what I needed! Thanks so much

[@thripnixe]

I watched so many videos to solve that Kali Gparted changes, but your video was the only one i can understand, thanks!

[@michaelinzo]

I've used a expansion only codes before without gui back in 2020 forgot how to do it again, thanks for the video!

[@georgerees7811]

Spent all morning looking at guides and none of them were working for me but this worked like a charm thank you!

[@mouhamedlaminediallo5959]

This is by far the most concise explanation! I was losing my time doing some research on google! And to have to type a lot a lot of commands! This is just what i needed!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@Funkysauce]

Well done video, succinct and easy to follow. I was on the verge of just rebuilding my virtual machine but this is exactly the information I needed. Cheers!

[@Gborohooo]

The first RUclips tutorial I've watched that actually worked. Thank you!!!

[@BalogunSamuel-e3h]

OMG! Can't believe I spent several several hours yesterday trying to increase my kali hard disk space with no success....This video was everything I needed. Easy to follow, understand and straightforward...Thumbs up man 👍

[@jaywaldon5419]

Perfect. i couldn't log in because of a full disk - this saved me. Thanks a ton

[@linoge71206]

Took me a minute to understand the part where you were moving stuff, I kept having an issue moving them over but after a quick rewind it was simple and worked flawlessly. Much appreciated great video

[@sean9761]

Thank you after spending the day looking for information this was exactly what I needed!

[@cyber_salih]

No problem, I am glad that helped 😊

[@franz3810]

he is the beeest!

[@dallinchristensen5445]

Exactly what I needed. This was way more intuitive than some of the other techniques that just involve the command line. Thank you!

[@lightswitch6854]

Wow! I am more confident about this, thanks a lot. To think I thought Kali was a holiday destination. Wicked.

[@baderalotaibi1484]

Really useful .. thanks for the clear easy explanation without missing any step .

[@toddrobottom2228]

Thanks for this information. This was some great content. I spend all day yesterday trying to clean up my Kali VM to get some more room but this works better.

[@khalifakhalifi2397]

Genius!! You saved my Kali machine, bless you bro!!!

[@MM-by6qq]

SIRR SIRR!! I spent hours searching between unuseful vedios while this exact great vedio exist here with 48 likes only.. I hope I can give you million likes , thanks 10000000 times for this vid!!!!!!

[@olst2929]

i was suffering with this for 3 hours..... you saved me

[@TheNikakz]

Perfect, I've been trying to figure this out for hours. Congratulations

[@k4dzuto]

I have watched a lot amount of videos about memory extension, but this one was really helpfull. Thanks a lot man!

[@sknny_t]

Best tutorial I saw about this so far! Easy and straight forward!

[@todaysgreatest]

Your write up for this was great as well

[@SoufianeTahiri]

FINALLY someone did this!!! THANKS DUDE you saved my day !

[@sushantchavan9892]

Thanks a lot man really needed this, i tried other ways before but it was all messed up and skipped steps, you really made it work good work keep it up 🔥

[@franz3810]

I fixed my vm!! it was running low on space so I resized the virtual space, thanks so much.

[@user-racer001]

Useful tutorial, thanks!

[@gauravnaib4374]

Excellent simple method,, thank you much 🎉

[@Noflexing100]

This worked. I noticed making the hard disk larger in the vmware didn't actually change it in the vm itself when you logged in. You have to log in to the vm ware and do exactly what he did. You'll be set after that.

[@realkamara]

Thank you so much... These steps really work... Please, keep up the good work.

[@Zen_Monkey]

gparted did the trick for my kali box, thanks!

[@vince943]

when doing this, after rebooting it makes my reboot super slow and I get an error after doing applying the changes that says something like make sure you have enough disk space and make sure the disk is working properly or something. Any suggestions im using kali vm and added maybe 60 gb of storage but the partitioning is giving me trouble each time?

[@cyber_salih]

Sorry, hard to know what the issue might be with little information.

[@ArdaBabacan]

Thanks man

[@Manuel-Pozzoni]

What if i got this issue + The loop bug (Where i need to install things to fix it but cant since i have no space left) ???

[@cyber_salih]

I would suggest backing up your data (that you need) installing a new kali Linux machine/instance expanding the new machine and then transferring all the data you backed up.
Another alternative would be delete stuff or run a cleaning script etc and then fixing after.
Hopefully that works? That’s assuming the loop bug has not locked you out.

[@abdulmaliklawal4786]

Hey, this has been very helpful, but I cant seem to reduce the size of my sda2 disk

[@cyber_salih]

It would be hard to pinpoint what the issue is unless I had the time to take a proper look. Apologies I couldn’t be of more help.

[@abdulmaliklawal4786]

@@cyber_salih hi, I figured it out, I extended the volume of the swap partition instead of moving it backwards, hence I couldn’t increase the volume of my primary disk

[@cyber_salih]

@@abdulmaliklawal4786 Great! Glad you figured it out. Nice one :)

[@Amoralnik]

thanks

[@MineSam123]

How does it work on headless machines? (no GUI)

[@cyber_salih]

Good question!
Firstly, it would depend on where the machine is situated (still using VMware?).
Secondly, you can use Gparted (maybe other tools might work too) to achieve this in a command line fashion. Most (if not all) features available in GUI can be done with the command line. Often, the command line does more than the GUI.
I will be honest and say I have not done this before using purely the command line, but I believe it is possible - might take some playing around to figure it out.

[@AnisKhan-vn1ni]

Thanks ಠ⁠◡⁠ಠ

[@KraasRas]

unfortunately this doesn't work on encrypted disks

[@cyber_salih]

That is unfortunate, I haven’t tried it on an encrypted disk. I hope you find a solution.

[@KraasRas]

@@cyber_salih yes on my case, had to resize the encrypted container with "cryptsetup resize /dev/mapper/nvmeOn1p3_crypt", then the LVM physical volume (PV) with "pvresize /dev/mapper/nvmeOn1p3_crypt". on the next step extend the logical volume with "lvresize /dev/kali-vg/root". Finally the "entire logical volume" with "resize2fs /dev/kali-vg/root"

[@jeffolvera]

Is it just me or is the sound off by quiet a bit?

[@cyber_salih]

Yeah the sound could have been better, I didn’t have a proper microphone at the time of recording this.
