Resize Problem: Need Boot Camp Linux+ElCap, with VirtualBox VM from both
I want to create
Boot Camp partitions
1. MacOSX El Capitan (already exists)
2. Linux (still can't boot from usb created with unetbootin)
I want to create Virtual Box VMs
3. VM of Linux Guest on El Capitan host...but the VM will run Linux on the 2nd boot camp partition as guest
4. VM of MacOSX El Capitan on Linux host...but the VM will run MacOSX on the 1st boot camp partition as guest
Will it be possible to do 3 and 4 ?
I understand there may be some caveats when running MacOSX in VM...eg Xcode. I am willing to put up with some functional limitations and can boot into macosx (using rEFInd boot manager) to overcome when needed.
I tried to follow this guide
http://linuxnewbieguide.org/?p=1819
But I still have starter problem:
p1. cannot resize the MacOSX partition (OS X extended journaled filesystem)
already booted macosx el cap off a usb drive...but cannot resize the macosx el cap partition from 1.
need to remove the "journaled" in filesystem ?
how to remove "journaled" filesystem with Disk Utility ?
- use Disk Utility from the usb macosx el cap ?
- use Disk Utility from the hdd macosx el cap (after boot into recovery) ?
- need a mavericks boot usb that will have a "better" Disk Utility?
is the "sequence" of steps correct ?
a. disable SIP (system integrity protection)
b. install rEFInd boot manager
c. convert hfs+ filesystem to remove journaling (can't do this yet)
d. resize macosx el cap on ssd
e. boot linux from usb, install to ssd
Below is output of my SSD (btw, I have 100GB free on disk1)
$ diskutil cs list
