Re: GNU Parted - Resizing HFS+ best practice?



I removed the journal using diskutil. The partition I wanted to shrink
was:
MINOR	start	end		type	name
5	0.344	58644.135	hfs+ 	Untitled

At first I tried:

        (parted) resize 5 0.344 36000
        
since I read that the start point had to remain the same. But it
produced:

        No Implementation: Sorry, HFS cannot be resized that way yet.
        Error: Updating the HFS wrapper has failed.
        
Then I read a resize example on parted's online documentation that
printed the start- and endpoint as integers: resize x 200 850 (start:
200MB end: 850MB)
So then I tried:

        (parted) resize 5 1 36000
        
Now it started working, but when it finished it gave the same message:

        No Implementation: Sorry, HFS cannot be resized that way yet.
        Error: Updating the HFS wrapper has failed.
        
So, I thought the damage was done (however no harm done, everything's
nicely backed up), but when I rebooted it booted into OS X without a
problem! But when I checked the disk size with Info the size was 13,03
GB and in Disk Utility it is still the same size (58 GB). I don't seem
to be missing any files. There's still about 9 GB in use. I haven't
switched on the journal yet.

Does this strike anyone (Jonas?) as everyday?

Greets,
Michel
