NomadicJo Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hi Currently, I have Mojave and Big Sur installed on my 250 gig drive. Both apfs volumes share the same drive here is the output from diskutil list: $ diskutil list /dev/disk0 (internal, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *250.1 GB disk0 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 249.8 GB disk0s2 /dev/disk1 (synthesized): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: APFS Container Scheme - +249.8 GB disk1 Physical Store disk0s2 1: APFS Volume Mojave 143.6 GB disk1s1 2: APFS Volume PreBoot 329.7 MB disk1s2 3: APFS Volume Recovery 1.1 GB disk1s3 4: APFS Volume VM 2.1 GB disk1s4 5: APFS Volume BigSur — Data 2.8 GB disk1s5 6: APFS Volume 15.3 GB disk1s6 7: APFS Volume Update 512.0 KB disk1s7 That works. I've largely used mojave because there's some software on there, which no longer runs under Catalina (64 bit limitation) but also wanted to use Big Sur to be up to date for networking/online. I think that's a good enough setup for my needs. I would like to expand my drive in size and have ordered a 1 tb NVMe drive, which has arrived and is waiting for action. I'd like to format that 1 tb drive to use a 250 gb partition with my software as it is and also would like to add a 50 gig linux partition and install manjaro or kubuntu on that linux part. I would like to have the remainder of the drive used for data, which ideally should be accessible from linux and macOS. So in a nutshell, make 250 gb macOS partition containing mojave and big sur apfs volumes 50 gb linux partition 700 gb data partition, to be shared between macOS and linux How would you suggest I pull this off? What format should the data part be? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/350870-1-tb-drive-partitioning-for-macos-1014-11-and-linux/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
