Increasing disk space on a Fresh-Start desktop in a course
If a Fresh-Start machine is running low on disk space, you can quickly resize it to allocate more storage.
First, stop the Fresh-Start machine.
Next, choose Clone & Resize to turn it into a Standalone, as shown below — create an organization if you don’t have one yet.
Here, set the new disk size as needed, then submit.
Go to the 'Standalones' link at the top of the page to locate the standalone and verify it's there.
Delete the original Fresh-Start machine from the course by clicking the 'Delete' button.
Select the 'Create Fresh-Start from my Standalone' button
In the 'Create from Standalone' dialog, you can opt to increase the disk size here if you skipped that earlier.
If needed, add an alias name, then click the 'Create Desktop' button.
For standard DaDesktop Linux and Windows OS templates, the operating system partition expands automatically. Note: AlmaLinux standard templates use a different default partition layout, so extra manual steps are needed (see below).
With custom OS templates, automatic partition extension may not work—you'll need to manually grow them, as outlined below.
If you're using custom OS templates or Almalinux standard templates, follow these instructions to extend the partitions manually.
To adjust the partitions, do the following:
- Open a terminal or command prompt
- Type the commands listed below
