Dear lists, I am trying to install Debian on a powermac7,3 at work, but I did not manage to resize the main HFS+ partition. Although I have a backup, I would like to avoid reinstalling MacOS X. I saw on the web reports from 2005 in which an HFS+ partition was sucessfully resized with the debian-installer, so I wonder what I did wrong.
I am using the netinst for Etch, in which parted is version 1.7.1. when I try to resize with a command such as "resize 3 100GB 50GB", I got the following error message: Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition. Here is what I know from the disk gslc12|charles|$ diskutil info / Device Node: /dev/disk0s3 Device Identifier: disk0s3 Mount Point: / Volume Name: Macintosh HD File System: HFS+ Owners: Enabled Partition Type: Apple_HFS Bootable: Is bootable Media Type: Generic Protocol: ATA SMART Status: Verified UUID: E725DF25-8BE1-384B-A630-5BAAE5028069 Total Size: 233.6 GB Free Space: 198.2 GB Read Only: No Ejectable: No Device Location: "A (upper)" I disabled journaling with sudo diskutil disableJournal / Any idea ? I am a bit frustrated of not being able to use the packages I made...
