RE: Question about bootcamp, and windows 10 1903?
Did you bother to get a full report on what the Disk Utility is seeing as useage? I'd say if anything it is your mac os partition on the so called 500GB drive and the rest is being used by windows. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Wednesday, 5 June 2019 6:38 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Question about bootcamp, and windows 10 1903? Hi folks. So I've got windows on my mini. When I look at the disc manager on the windows side, I get the following. (Disk 0 partition 1); Simple; Basic; Healthy (EFI System Partition); 300 MB; 300 MB; 100 % (Disk 0 partition 2); Simple; Basic; Healthy (Primary Partition); 40.98 GB; 40.98 GB; 100 % BOOTCAMP (C:); Simple; Basic; NTFS; Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition); 424.65 GB; 390.54 GB; 92 % Now, I'm wondering what that 40 gigs is for? On the mac side, looking at it with disc utilities, I see the bootcamp disc is 454 gigs. I could delete the 40 gigs, but the disc manager in windows says It could be for another OS,. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Re: Question about Bootcamp
Just curious whether you could simply use the unix underneath OSX to do your bidding. I know there are currently 11721 packages ported to osx under macports.org so maybe you can just run them in the Mac environment. Just not sure what the key package is in linux that you are trying to gain access to.

As I said, I don't wanna do that as I'm an audio engineer, and my mac OSX system is strictly being used for my audio workflow. I don't want to bog it down with anything else.
