Title: Expand the disk for Kali Linux

Before, when installing the system for Kali, 40G disks were allocated, but as more and more files are stored in Kali, kali's disk possession is no longer enough. So how to expand the kali disk?

First, let’s take a look at the remaining space of this unit.

df

As you can see, disk ownership has accounted for 100%.

Allocate space to kali

Run the virtual machine settings, click Add below - Add Hard Drive

Here I am adding 10G capacity

Execute the following command in the terminal

fdisk -l Here we see the 10G capacity hard disk we just added.

Next we need to partition /dev/sda

Execute the command

fdisk /dev/sda

Format partition

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sda

mount disk

At this time, I want to mount the /root directory of 10G capacity

Execute the command

mount /dev/sda /root, but this can only be used once, that is, our mount will be lost after the PC is restarted, and we can set the configuration file

Modify the configuration file

The format is as follows:

UUID=Mount directory File system format Permanent Whether to backup Whether to self-check

UUID is available through blkid

vim /etc/fstab

In this way, we have completed the expansion of the disk
