Resize Partitions in Mac OS X with Disk Utility

November 20th, 2009 - 10.5, 10.6, Mac OS X, Tips & Tricks, Utilities

You can easily resize any disk partition in Mac OS X using the included Disk Utility app, located in /Applications/Utilities, you can even resize a mounted volume but that’s not the best idea in the world. Before you go messing around and resizing your partitions, be sure to backup your data in case something goes wrong.

Since Mac OS X Leopard (and obviously Snow Leopard) you can grow or shrink HFS+ (Mac OS X) Partitions on the fly, with the resizing done live regardless of whether the drive is internal or an external drive.
