No-sweat expansion of Oracle VirtualBox virtual disk


In VirtualBox 4.0 disk size expansion is supported
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Run this command on the host machine, with due consideration to the actual paths applicable:
d:\> vboxmanage modifyhd winXP.vdi -resize 25600 
where, 25600 is the absolute final size desired (not an incremental value)
2) Once this command has run successfully, invoke the virtual machine
3) Now, download/ install/ run the "EaseUS Partition Master" utility in the virtual machine
4) Create a partition from the unallocated disk space
5) Merge this partition to the main drive in virtual machine
6) Boot the virtual machine couple of times, as directed by the UI messages.
That's it!

And then trying to debug it and not knowing why: in one case the data was coming from the server side only, while in the other case it was coming from mocked data on client side. Kept on looking for whether data was getting lost, or did I need routing. There were debug sessions where both server side and client side individually appear...
