Resizing the disk of a Fresh-start desktop within a course

If your existing Fresh Start machine is running low on disk space, resizing it to add more room is a straightforward process

1. First, stop the Fresh-Start machine
2. Next, choose Clone & Resize to Standalone as shown below—create an organisation if you do not already have one
3. In this step, increase the disk size as needed and then submit
4. Head to the 'Standalones' link at the top of the page to locate it and confirm it is there
5. Back in the course, delete the Fresh-Start machine using the 'Delete' button
6. Click the 'Create Fresh-Start from my Standalone' button
   
    
7. Within this 'Create from Standalone' dialog, you can also opt to increase the disk size if you missed doing so in the earlier step
   
8. If needed, add an Alias name, and then click on 'Create Desktop'
9. For standard DaDesktop Linux and Windows OS templates, the operating system will automatically extend or grow. Please note that AlmaLinux standard templates set up their default partitions differently, which means you'll need to follow some additional manual steps described below.
10. For custom OS templates, extending partitions automatically may not always happen, so you'll have to do it manually. The steps for this are provided below.

 

To extend partitions in custom OS templates and AlmaLinux standard templates, follow the steps below

1. Follow these instructions to modify your desktop partitions:
   
   - Open a terminal or command prompt 
   - Enter the following commands
   
   1. Ubuntu & Debian
   
   
   
   2. Almalinux / CentOS
