The image is partitioned fairly close to your disk0.
I created the image to help illustrate my answer. The drive below is a a sparse disk image. Let my show you an example similar to your situation.įirst is the output from the command diskutil list disk1. The free space must exist directly below the partition. This means you can not just add any free space to a partition. Partitions are stored on a drive contiguously. There are third party tools that can move a partition, but last time I checked, they will not work with APFS container partitions.
This is a huge PITA and it shouldn't be.Īpple does not provide a way to do what you want to do. If Apple monitors this, please make it simpler to resize partitions. I looked at Disk Utility app and it shows a 350GB partition, a 100GB partition, and 50GB of free space. No ****ing idea where the other 50 gigs went, but it's in there somewhere. So shrinking the big one and then attempting to make the little partition bigger. I didn't blow up my hard drive, but it didn't work.well, it sorta worked.here's what diskutil list looks like right now after that attempt: ~> diskutil listĢ: Apple_APFS Container disk1 350.0 GB disk0s2Ġ: APFS Container Scheme - +350.0 GB disk1ġ: APFS Volume Mojave Beta 90.3 GB disk2s1 Just for S's and G's, I tried making the big drive smaller and see what happens.Ĭurrent status: Shrinking APFS Physical Store disk0s2 from 399,963,168,768 to 349,999,996,928 bytes I know I've got 50 gigs laying around on the other drive, but how do I reclaim from the Macintosh HD and give it to the Mojave Beta drive? Thank you for reading. I also took a peek at this post, too re: diskutil documention.Īligning grow delta to 49,999,994,880 bytes and targeting a new physical store size of 149,999,996,928 bytesĭetermined the maximum size for the targeted physical store of this APFS Container to be 100,000,002,048 bytesĮrror: -69519: The target disk is too small for this operation, or a gap is required in your partition map which is missing or too small, which is often caused by an attempt to grow a partition beyond the beginning of another partition or beyond the end of partition map usable space I looked at this MacObserver post and I tried this: sudo diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk0s3 150G Here's the output from diskutil list: ~> diskutil listĢ: Apple_APFS Container disk1 400.0 GB disk0s2ģ: Apple_APFS Container disk2 100.0 GB disk0s3Ġ: APFS Container Scheme - +400.0 GB disk1ġ: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 234.4 GB disk1s1Ġ: APFS Container Scheme - +100.0 GB disk2ġ: APFS Volume Mojave Beta 90.2 GB disk2s1 I'm attempting to resize a partition that's too small for my needs.
