Hello, got Windows 10 up and running on my 2016 base MacBook Pro and wondered if this is normally how I am supposed to see Bootcamps' storage report breakdown:
My MacBook has 256GB of storage and as you can see macOS has a 200GB partition and Windows has a 50.69GB partition but it shows the full SSD size and does not report used storage.
Is this normal?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)
If you can post the output of diskutil list from macOS Terminal, it is much cleaner to explain why HS behaves as it does.
On a 2012 13-in MBP, with El Capitan 10.11.6, I see and the following disk layout.
diskutil list
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *512.1 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS OSY-MBP13 380.3 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
4: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 131.0 GB disk0s4
On HS, the APFS container (200GB) contains all macOS volumes, which is correctly indexed and reported. The issue with HS is that it is a logical disk - disk1, not a physical one. It should not be reported as it is, in your output.
The BC side is a physical partition on a 251GB physical disk, and El Capitan does not show it as a separate disk, while HS does. Also, Spotlight is not indexing the BC partition in HS, while it partially does in El Capitan, at the partition level, but not inside the partition. In both cases, BC is reported as 'Other'.
This is a bug/feature in HS, depending on your perspective. I suggest providing Product Feedback - Apple and linking it to this thread. My previous bug reports on this subject get closed, perhaps because this is a 'cosmetic' feature to some.
This is what Terminal Spits out:
/dev/disk0 (internal):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme 251.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 314.6 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 200.0 GB disk0s2
3: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 50.7 GB disk0s3
/dev/disk1 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +200.0 GB disk1
Physical Store disk0s2
1: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 112.9 GB disk1s1
2: APFS Volume Preboot 23.0 MB disk1s2
3: APFS Volume Recovery 520.8 MB disk1s3
4: APFS Volume VM 3.2 GB disk1s4
This overview is not based on actual usage, but based on indexing of the file systems, using Spotlight. It is seldom exact.
Terminal commands are much more accurate. Try diskutil list and df -h .
While informative that does not answer my question....
What is the current version of MacOS installed? Some older macOS versions do show a better breakdown.
BootCamp not reporting storage correctly?
