So I have tried to reformat it to MacOS extended, and MacOS extended journaled, however it fails after a few seconds with the message 'File system formatter failed'." It comes formatted FAT32, however, it appears you can't use FAT32 for vaults. In some situations when an attempt is made, the program will give an error stating, the "file system formatter failed."Īpple Discussion poster " Scott Fairbairn": "I just bought a MyBook 1TB external drive to use as a vault for Aperture. Here, I assume the HDD uses a standard SATA interface and therefore can be successfully modified by the third party tools discussed in this answer.Sometimes drives will not properly erase with Disk Utility. In your case you have a Fusion Container which uses an internal SSD and internal HDD. See this answer for a discussion regarding the pros and cons of these tools and the recommendation of first using chkdsk.Īpple often uses proprietary SSDs which require special drivers. There are third party tools which can move (or resize upward) a Microsoft Basic Data partition which is NTFS formatted.

Provided the space is available, the command below would shrink the Apple_APFS partition on the internal SATA HDD to 770 GB and create 100 GB of free space between the Apple_APFS partition and the Microsoft Basic Data partition. diskutil apfs resizecontainer disk0s2 limits You can use the command given below to show how much the Apple_APFS partition on the internal SATA HDD could be shrunk. The commands given below are based on the output from diskutil list command given in your question. You can use the diskutil command to create free space after the Apple_APFS partition on the internal SATA HDD.
On the other hand, the diskutil list command outputs a very reliable information. This seems to be the case with respect to your question. The Disk Utility application can often present incorrect information. One note is that when I was initially installing Bootcamp, I did force quit bootcamp helper and deleted that partition because it was taking too long, and I reran it afterwards, so that might be the root of the problem What should I do so that I can partition space from my free space that is in the Macintosh HD drive? I ran diskutil list and got this back: /dev/disk0 (internal, physical):Ģ: Apple_APFS Container disk2 870.0 GB disk0s2ģ: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 130.0 GB disk0s3Ģ: Apple_APFS Container disk2 27.7 GB disk1s2Ġ: APFS Container Scheme - +897.7 GB disk2ġ: APFS Volume Macintosh HD - Data 546.7 GB disk2s1Ģ: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 14.9 GB disk2s2ģ: APFS Snapshot .update-. 14.9 GB disk2s2s1Ĥ: APFS Volume Preboot 285.5 MB disk2s3ĥ: APFS Volume Recovery 652.6 MB disk2s4Ġ: FDisk_partition_scheme *250.0 GB disk3ġ: Windows_FAT_32 KIMI'S USB 250.0 GB disk3s1 So I decided to do some googling but didn't see anyone has anything close to this. I decided to add a new partition and set it at 200GB and run it, but then it gave me this error (can't copy paste so the image below) Then I saw that the "free space" part and the "Macintosh HD" doesn't add up to 1TB, in fact, it is more, and I 100% know for sure that this iMac model that I bought in 2019 is only 1TB. But the first red flag came when I went into the partition menu: It doesn't show the partition for Bootcamp. So I am trying to add more space to Bootcamp by following this tutorial.
