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
