How to enlarge a fixed VDI file with linux inside?
Actually, there is a virtual machine on debian, with 10 GB of memory.
There was a need to expand the place to 100 GB. VBoxManage modifyhd file.vdi --resize 100000
gave an error
VBoxManage.exe: error: Resize hard disk operation for this format is not implemented yet!

df outputs the size of the file system, which has nothing to do with the size of the physical or virtual disk.
Now the guest should have a physical disk of 100 available, but you haven't told the system how to use that extra capacity. Resize partitions, resize the file system. Just like moving a physical machine to another larger physical disk.
