Increasing VM size (free space)

[Conza]

Hi team,

Confused by this...

Truenas Core -> VM -> Ubuntu Mate -> I have a pool/size of 660gb...

But when in the OS... it says I have only 108GB capacity? 80 odd gig left?

Is that an issue? I want it to be 660gb... how do I fix this?

Cheers

Ignore what Disk Usage Analyzer reports. Unless you're running as root, it will only report the storage your account has permissions to see.

Ah gotcha, brilliant. Thanks. I was not running as root.

An easy way I can give same permissions to my current user? So it can see the full storage too? I hardly log in as root.

Another side issue: I can login via Remote Desktop as root; but no longer as current user. Believe it is a permissions thing as well, ideas on where I can change that?

Those are Ubuntu questions better directed to the Ubuntu forums, not the FreeNAS/TrueNAS forums.

A further question - if I wanted to reduce that 660gb size? Best way to do that?

Or is it dynamic - like some other VM's, and so I shouldn't worry?
