Hi,

My experience is limited on this, but I’ll try to help.  

I went through the motions on a 2TB disk to change options 
from a one to a three partition setup, and got no such warning 
when selecting “3 partitions” from the [Partition Layout] pull-
down menu.  Disk Utility did allow selection of 3 partitions 
for setting up a disk and naming each as ‘untitled _’, however, 
since the disk contains lots of stored personal data, I could not 
follow through with an actual re-partitioning of the disk.  
At present, I don’t have an empty disk to attempt re-partitioning 
on this disk, but have successfully done it in the past.

Question: 
In the past, did you wipe/destroy the encryption partition as well 
as the encryped rest-of-disk?  This is a [separate] area that holds 
the encrypting pass phrase for the rest of the disk to be encrypted 
or decrypted with.

Also: 
Describe what was done just before the “…into two.” message 
the app gave when you were using  [ Disk Utility > Partition ] 
onto the ‘root’ of the disk.
