 What you need to do is find where it has the name of the device in the 
 table, at the very top, and click Partition in the toolbar. It looks like 
 you can resize and add and remove partitions from there.
 I hope this helps,

Re: help with start up disk almost full

2015-10-03 Thread Grant

Installing OS X Yosemite converted most volumes to core storage, so believe me 
when I say this situation impacted Yosemite as well. By far the simplest 
solution would be to wipe the disk, but as I say I understand why you would not 
want to do this. Have you tried booting from internet recovery as I suggested 
with COMMAND+OPTION+R? That seemed to reallocate the free space on my startup 
volume—and I have no idea why. Perhaps it has to do with tests that were 
performed on the hard disk, or with recreating the recovery partition.

The easiest thing would be that I can think of is to boot into Recovery Mode

Hi,
Here’s what I did. This might work, not sure, since I didn’t change anything.
What you need to do is find where it has the name of the device in the table, 
at the very top, and click Partition in the toolbar. It looks like you can 
resize and add and remove partitions from there.

Re: help with start up disk almost full

2015-10-02 Thread Grant

Hi,

I’ve had this same problem with OS X Yosemite where unallocated space was 
difficult to manage on my primary volume once I tried to manually repartition 
the disk. I think it has something to do with Yosemite and up converting disks 
to core storage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_Storage). I researched this 
in quite a bit of depth some weeks ago and I found many interesting ideas for 
resolving the problem, like this one 
(http://awesometoast.com/yosemite-core-storage-and-partition-woes/). However, I 
decided to try something much simpler first. Rather than booting from the 
recovery partition, I booted from Internet Recovery using COMMAND+OPTION+R. 
This recreates the recovery partition and does some quick tests as well on your 
hard drive and memory. For whatever reason, doing this caused my free space to 
show as being reallocated back to my startup partition. Give it a shot and if 
you don’t want to erase your disk, which I understand, it may be worth doing 
some further reading on the topic of core storage and partitioning as I’m far 
from an expert on the topic. And the usual disclaimers apply, e.g. back up your 
data before attempting any troubleshooting steps.

 Hi,
 The easiest thing would be that I can think of is to boot into Recovery 
 Mode and open Disc Utility from there, and just the partition there. It 
 just might work. :)
 Hope this helps,
 Jeffrey
