Note that this will require the deleting of the Mojave beta partition, so make sure you either have it backed up, or have an installer on hand.
#MACBOOK EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE SIZE CHANGE PARTITION TAP HOW TO#
With a bit of trial and error I was able to figure out how to effectively merge Containers 2 and 3 into one, with no data loss to Container 1. Another notable error is your attempt to resize the Physical Store partitions on which the Container disks are stored ( disk0s2 and disk0s4), rather than the Container disks themselves ( disk3, disk4, and disk5 in the below example). Ok, so it turns out this error -5344: MediaKit reports not enough space on device for requested operation is caused by the fact that you are trying to expand a container backward into free space that exists before it on the partition list, even though Disk Utility (and by extension diskutil) can only expand partitions forward into free space that comes after the container in the partition list. I still can't resize the other two partitions. I selected the Apple SSD, clicked partition, highlighted the empty partition, and clicked "-", which removed it. When I'm done, I'd like to have Macintosh HD sized to 400GB and Mojave beta sized to 100GB.Ģ) How do I resize the Mojave beta partition from 50GB to 100GB? I took a look at this article from MacWorld, but it seems to be written to address a scenario for an external drive, not an internal drive. I was thinking I'd resize the empty 50GB partition to zero and up the other 50GB partition to 100GB and I'd be on my merry way…I thought wrong. I added an unnamed partition and reduced the size of my 450GB partition to 400GB and I'm left with 3 logical partitions.

I went to update for the latest release and I needed more space. After adding the new partition, I was left with two logical volumes that were 450GB and 50GB.įast forward to this evening. A month or so ago, I added a new partition to my 500 GB SSD drive so I could have MacOS Mojave on a separate partition.
