Resizing a VirtualBox disk image

This should go without saying, but make sure you have a good backup of everything before you do any of this.. If in doubt, just backup the whole VirtualBox folder. You have been warned.

Adjusting the system time in a VirtualBox Guest

This is only useful in a couple situations, but very handy if you need it. The guest OS must be unlocked, so you'll need to shut it down before you do this.

#/bin/bash

# First get the name of the vm you need to adjust:
VBoxManage list vms

# Then, adjust the time in milliseconds (neg nums go back in time):
VBoxManage modifyvm $MY_VM --biossystemtimeoffset -32000000000  # about a year

# To get it back on current time, just set it to zero:
VBoxManage modifyvm $MY_VM --biossystemtimeoffset 0
