geticus Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hi everyone, I wanted to resize a partition of a disk, but the Disk Utility did not allow me to do so. I tried to repair the disk, First Aid, error message "Partition map needs repair because a data partition needs loader space. : (-69765) By doing a diskutil list in the terminal I see that on my 4TB disk (4 partitions), I find myself with ... 5 EFI partitions. This is the first time I see this. Is this new with Ventura? Should I delete them, except the first one of course? I have to repair this disk.

miliuco Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 @geticus No, this is not new to Ventura. I had never seen this partition scheme. I think that the 200 mb EFIs can be made within macOS but not the 100 mb ones. Both disks are not system disks, right? I haven’t had seen Apfs and Hfs partitions in the same disk but maybe this is not an error.

geticus Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Thanks for your comments, I finally deleted those EFI NO NAME partitions, and I haven't lost anything yet. Miliuco, yes, the first disk, disk1, contains three bootable partitions, temporary, the APFS container and 2 storage partitions. And eSaf, indeed, it's very strange all this and I wonder if I should not make a copy and reset the disk. The problem is that it is big. But what it looks like today is not very reassuring. So...
