I have a less space in my root file-system, I want to move my installation of the VM, how can I do it ?
@Subhankar2000 commented on GitHub (Jan 2, 2022):
I have observed that I cannot move things once installed, so it will be better to make a separate partition, move things there at first, create an automatic mount point at /mnt and use this guide to change the default location, Change Docker root directory /var/lib/docker to another location and then start using Docker-OSX.
I am now able to use this on a separate partition on a separate drive even though my root partition is just 64 GB.
I found this can be an issue for many people who accidentally have their root partition small and still want to try this, so I reported it and now that I have found the solution, I am closing this with my comment.
Thank You
