Disk utility hangs repartitioning external USB-C SSD
I have an external USB-C SSD that I am trying to set up to be a bootable backup (using ChronoSync).
To do so, I am trying to repartition the drive. But the Disk Utility appears to have hung. Here is what I have seen for more than an hour:
This is my third time trying this. First I tried it and it hung. I restarted. Same thing. Hard rebooted. Still the same. Any suggestions? Anything I should look for in the console? I don't see anything obvious, but there's a lot of stuff in there.
P.S. this is a very large drive, so I suppose it could be just taking a long time. But more than an hour seems really long.
