disk-partitioning

Default images have 10GB, but I need more (30GB approx). If I create a disk of 30GB using one of that default images, the usable space it's 10GB, not 30GB. I know I can install the distro using tools like debootstrap, but that seems unnecessarily complicated. is there any other way to do it? You can create a boot disk larger than 10GB but then you'll need to repartition it, because by default, the provided VM images expand to 10GB so you'll need to use these instructions and run fdisk , reboot, and then run resize2fs to expand the usable space to the full size of the disk. You can automate it

I'm making a utility in C# for a filesystem that isn't supported by windows, which means that I can't just access the drive. I need a way to list all partitions on the hard disk and writing/formatting them. To list disk partitions you can use WMI. var searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\CIMV2", "SELECT * FROM Win32_DiskPartition"); foreach (var queryObj in searcher.Get()) { Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------"); Console.WriteLine("Win32_DiskPartition instance"); Console.WriteLine("Name:{0}", (string)queryObj["Name"]); Console.WriteLine("Index:{0}", (uint)queryObj[
