Mac Geekery

Hi,

I have been trying to resize my Mac hard drive using resizeVolume but keep getting the error : “Resizing encountered error No space left on device (28) on disk.” after verification is done. I have plenty of space (128GB) so I am thinking it may be due to the second reason you have given (unmovable metadata). I am a bit of a newbie so I was wondering what these metadata are and what is the solution to this?

This is the command I am using: sudo diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 20G “HFS+” MacData 50G “MS-DOS FAT32” XPDATA 50G “MS-DOS FAT32” Windows HD 20G

I am keeping a seperate MacData so I can play around with large ISOs DVDs etc. which won’t be possible on FAT32.

This is what I get with diskutil list:
/dev/disk0 #: type name size identifier 0: GUID_partition_scheme *149.1 GB disk0 1: EFI 200.0 MB disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 148.7 GB disk0s2

Would it be possible to receive an email reply (I came across this page via google and will bookmark it but just in case I can’t find the page again)?

I’d be grateful for any help! Aroosha
