After downloading the ISO file of GParted, you need to boot from GParted in your Virtual Machine. Booted the drive on one of my machines, and was met with GRUB (yay!). As first, download the GParted ISO from the official website here (I will use the gparted-live-1.1.0-8-amd64.iso). I used an override in the expert section (-icds) to ignore the disk size and copied over the VM to a flash drive. I then tried Clonezilla device-device cloning, which complained about the target disk being too small because Clonezilla is too effn' stupid to see that the last 9 GB of space on the source disk isn't being used. Google-fu and yeah GParted doesn't copy GRUB so no go.
GPARTED LIVE USB ON UBUNTU IN A VM INSTALL
I tried using GParted to copy the partitions and was met with a little blinking '_' when I tried to boot. Then use the RUFUS freeware to create a bootable USB from this ISO (note: RUFUS includes a builtin support to download and install Linux on your USB key). So I now have a 6 GB system that I want to put onto an 8 GB flash drive. Even moved the swap partition so that the last ~9 GB of space is totally unallocated. So I then stripped it down (removed lots of packages I didn't need) and used GParted Live to resize and reduce the partitions such that the system only uses about 6 GB total. I need to make several copies of this VM onto 8 GB bootable flash drives.
GPARTED LIVE USB ON UBUNTU IN A VM WINDOWS 10
I have a virtual machine on my Windows 10 desktop (VMWare WS) running Debian 9 which needed 12 GB to install, I gave it 15 GB for safe measure.
