not quite the whole 128G, but certainly better than 127. Proxy-Seller offers to buy a diverse range of proxy types: datacenter IPv4 & IPv6, ISP, residential, and 4G/5G rotating mobile, tailored for your use cases. ‘Note: Your partition map does not use the entire space of your whole-disk’ warning, and completes without ‘MediaKit reports partition map too small’.Īnd my HD is at 274G. I turned the guest OS back to Mac (I had to log in to the host as root to shut down the VM, for some reason: VMWare Fusion didn’t give me the shutdown option), and now it’s back in OSX. I asked to move the recovery partition to the very end of the free space, and it said that might be bad, so I just quit and rebooted. I saw a small /dev/sda1, the EFI system partition, at 200M, /dev/sda2 the Mac HD, at 127G, /dev/sda3 the recovery HD at 620M, and 128G of unallocated space. I told it to fix the partition table – the ‘do you want to fix this’ that came up automatically. I downloaded gparted-live-0.27.0-1-i686.iso and put it into datastore1, added it ‘at power up’ to the VM’s CD, changed the VM type to Other 2.6.x LInux 32 bit, booted the VM and held C down from the VMWare screen until it reached the GRUB screen, but while I could select the GRUB options, most of the resulting systems either didn’t recognise the keyboard in character mode, or the mouse in GUI mode.Įvery so often, the default GRUB option worked but while I got through language selection I found I needed to selected menu option 2 to enter shell mode, then quit it without doing anything to enter the GUI, but had to drum on the keyboard’s arrow keys for a while before the GUI system recognised the keyboard or mouse clicks. I recently grew my MacPro VM’s virtual disks from 128G to 256G, and ran ‘sudo diskutil resizeVolume / R’ to try to make the space available, but it told me ‘MediaKit reports partition (map) too small’. This will resize the Volume at / (Macintosh HD) to the maximum (R) So bust open Terminal.app and enter the following command sudo diskutil resizeVolume / R Hitting the partition button gives us thisĪnd Disk Utility can’t seem to see the extra space!įortunately its a trivial task to achieve the same goal using the command line. So we can see that the VMWare Virtual Disk is 94.49GB, but our Macintosh HD volume is only 34.57GB Hit apply and the volume will be expanded.

To expand the Macintosh HD volume to the maximum, you just needed to click on the VMWare Virtual Disk, click the partition tab and drag the slider in the bottom right hand corner all the way to the bottom and note the size will change under the Partition Information. Note that the VMWare Virtual Disk is showing as 107.37GB, yet the Macintosh HD volume is showing as a capacity of 33.5GB Increase the size of the virtual disk in VMWare Fusion Under Yosemite 10.10 and previous it was quite simple to increase the size of a virtual hard disk in VMWare Fusion and then simply expand the volume on the guest Mac OS VM One of the biggest changes is how the partition tab looks and functions. Apple has made some changes to Disk Utility in OS X 10.11 El Capitan.
