I'm not sure why DU is forcing such a small value. You ought to be able to specify any size up to a maximum for each partition such that they all occupy all of the space of the entire disk. This is really where DU just falls down, as far as VO support is concerned.
You're correct that about 51GB is in use by the entire partition; that's what your diskutil output shows. The process is non-destructive (hopefully ...) and the space right now is between your primary partition and the recovery area; it's unusable while it's unpartitioned space. The worst that is likely to happen is that you'll be told why you can't resize. In the command that I gave you, replace "70%" with "45G" (no quotes) to get what you are asking for exactly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
