[QUOTE="allan473, post: 1785088, member: 347607"] I want to make an external drive into 2 partition but cannot. I ran disk repair and erased the disk without problems. Running 10.13.3 on aa 2016 15 in MBP. I can select 2 partition and start the process but I always end with an error message - the drive stays with 1 partition. Below is the error message Running operation 1 of 1: Add “Untitled” by splitting “mbp backup”… Verifying the disk Verifying file system. Volume was successfully unmounted. Performing fsck_hfs -fn -x /dev/rdisk2s3 Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume. Checking extents overflow file. Checking catalog file. Checking multi-linked files. Checking catalog hierarchy. Checking extended attributes file. Checking volume bitmap. Checking volume information. The volume mbp backup appears to be OK. File system check exit code is 0. Restoring the original state found as mounted. Resizing MediaKit reports partition (map) too small. If you recently grew your whole-disk, you should run whole-disk repair. Operation failed… [/QUOTE]
