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?
