Option to allow more than 40GB storage capacity

[dandonahoe]

I'm importing a SQL dump file that's ~100GB, but the scotch-box appears to have a fixed size of 40GB. When I attempt most of the advice online of running:

VBoxManage modifyhd "/Users/[name]/VirtualBox VMs/vagrant_default_1450926405979_88764/box-disk1.vmdk" --resize 128000

I get the error:

0%...
Progress state: VBOX_E_NOT_SUPPORTED
VBoxManage: error: Resize hard disk operation for this format is not implemented yet!

Is it possible to put the desired storage size in the Vagrant file?

@dandonahoe Yes it is, havn't done it myself but..

config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
  vb.customize "pre-boot", ["modifyhd", "disk id", "--resize", "size in megabytes"]
end

Alternatively..

You can resize the box itself like so: hashicorp/vagrant#2339 (comment)

@Braunson I got these errors with this config:

`
==> hadoop-namenode: Running 'pre-boot' VM customizations...
A customization command failed:

["modifyhd", :id, "--resize", 8096]

The following error was experienced:

#<Vagrant::Errors::VBoxManageError: There was an error while executing VBoxManage, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["modifyhd", "c389bcec-a4ae-407c-972f-4e671fac9358", "--resize", "8096"]

Stderr: VBoxManage: error: The given path 'c389bcec-a4ae-407c-972f-4e671fac9358' is not fully qualified

Please fix this customization and try again.

@zacker330 Have you instead tried option #2 re-sizing the box? hashicorp/vagrant#2339 (comment)
