Gparted For Mac Os X



The Mac Partition Manager Application Software gives users an option to partition the Mac based hard drive with proper data safety. Apple macOS users can roll back to the previous state before taking the final action, after using the Mac partition maangement utility.

  1. Gparted Supports MANY more Filesystems than Apple's Disk Utility GUI or the diskutil resizeVolume command. If you are on Leopard, you can use the new Disk Utility GUI which is supposed to support NON-DESTRUCTIVE partitioning. But I do not know how good it is. Bottom Line - Repartitioning ANY Drive is risky no matter what OS you are using.
  2. Download the latest version of gparted-live- make sure to get the ISO disk image. Burn the ISO to a CD using Disk Utility. This CD will boot your Mac into an open source Linux OS. Nothing in OS X or on your hard drive is changed, and you don't need to use Boot Camp or any emulation software.
  3. How to Create a GParted Bootable Flash Drive. Note: The operating system used to create the bootable flash drive was macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6. Download the latest gparted-live-.-amd64.zip file. Replace. with the current version. For example, if the latest version is 0.33.0-2, then you what the gparted-live-0.33.0-2-amd64.zip file.

OS X can non-destructively re-partition HFS+ partitions. Check out diskutil in the man pages. Not a GUI solution though.

In Tiger, the Disk Utility GUI does allow you to repartition a drive but it is a DESTRUCTIVE repartition (meaning that all your data will be lost!).
But in Tiger starting in 10.4.6, you can use the 'diskutil resizeVolume' command in the Terminal to NON-DESTRUCTIVELY resize a Mac supported partition. (ie You SHOULD not lose any data but backup just to be on the sage side)
Don't expect to read the Man Pages on this command. Apple has NOT updated the man pages (still true in 10.4.11). But if you type 'diskutil resizeVolume' in the terminal, you will get the details on how to use this command.
If you want a GUI on Tiger, use GParted. It is a GREAT Linux tool which is really a PartitionMagic Clone. Just boot the CD and use the GUI. Gparted Supports MANY more Filesystems than Apple's Disk Utility GUI or the diskutil resizeVolume command.
If you are on Leopard, you can use the new Disk Utility GUI which is supposed to support NON-DESTRUCTIVE partitioning. But I do not know how good it is.
Bottom Line - Repartitioning ANY Drive is risky no matter what OS you are using. It is always a good idea to back up your data on a DIFFERENT physical drive before attempting to repartition. Better be Safe than Sorry!

According to this page:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php
...GParted can shrink HFS+ file systems but it can't grow them.
Also, we should careful about the terminology here since it's important for understanding partition and file system management. HFS+ is a file system, not a type of partition as mentioned in another comment.

You have a MBP so your drive uses the GUID (GPT) partition scheme. Disk Utility can re-size and re-partition non-destructively. Consult the DU help.
Be sure to backup first just in case.
