Oh: and if you use a guest tool to report the partition size then do remember that drives can have more than one partition.
If you did that then an empty drive would occupy 80GB from day one, and I fail to see how that's an improvement! If you download a lot of stuff then yes, the drive will probably keep growing - though normally slower and slower, until it reaches the maximum you set (80GB).ītw, don't let some idiot blogger persuade you to switch to fixed disk. Or, this could all be nothing more than reflecting your own usage patterns. Look to the apps in your guest OS to see if any of them are continually touching the drive. So if the VDI keeps growing then it must be writing to new sectors. To answer the original question: dynamic disks grow when the guest OS writes to previously unused portions of the disk.
53GB is less than 80GB, so the image shows nothing out of the ordinary. Clearly the image shows that the disk in fact has an 80GB capacity. In your first post you said you created a 40GB disk.
