Re: 19 mb partition, where did it come from?

[Anders Holmberg]

Hi!
I wont be of much help here but a suggestion is to compile and build brltty 
from source.
Then you can use that in the terminal with the display if you turn voiceover 
off.
I am very scared myself so i am not willing to do this as i am afraid i mess 
something up.
Though there are no good instructions for this on the brltty web.
Maybe Jason White could chime in here and help you.

Re: 19 mb partition, where did it come from?

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

Hi Andrew,

Don’t worry if you miss Terminal output.  All you have to do is find the 
“shell” element, and interact with it.  Now you can use standard VO commands to 
move throughout the scrollback buffer.  It is not bounded by the screen, so 
feel free to use “|cat” in the man command to get the output all at once 
instead of having it paged.  Use jump to top / to bottom VO commands (in El 
Cap, that’s VO-Home or VO-End, in Yosemite add Shift).  Clear buffer with 
Command-K, and do this before displaying a long output.  In this way, you can 
read man pages and other output quite comfortably.

Cheers,
Sabahattin

Re: 19 mb partition, where did it come from?

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hi Sabahattin,

Thanks for this: as before with the drutil command, I have great hopes for this 
as well.  One particular problem I have in Terminal is that I don't know how to 
read slowly and reliably what voiceover says.  I use Braille display and Alex 
as the default voice but I can't seem to be able to read with my Braille 
display in terminal line by line or word by word.  Is there a way in which one 
can examine the terminal window thoroughly??  I've been aware of the man and 
help commands but once i execute them, voiceover reads everything quite quickly 
and I can't remember much afterwards, and I have not found a way of being able 
to copy what voiceover says for clear and slow examination.  How do you do it?  
I guess one would use parameters to decide the number and size of partitions as 
well as the format type?

Many thanks for any further help.

Andrew

RE: 19 mb partition, where did it come from?

[Simon Fogarty]

I've never noticed another partition on one of my mac drives when I partition 
it.

I partitioned a 1TB drive today in a 24 inch iMac and it only showed that 1 
partition which I then installed OSX 10.10.5 to, 


Have you tried repartitioning the drive again ?

Re: 19 mb partition, where did it come from?

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

As always, the best answer is to be found in Terminal.  The diskutil command 
has a number of subcommands related to partitioning.  Type “diskutil help” to 
see them.  You should also check the diskutil man page, with “man diskutil|cat”.

In your situation I’d create new partitions from scratch with the “diskutil 
partitiondisk” command.  Type that and look at the usage help.  If that’s not 
helpful, feel free to follow up and I’ll give you more specific help.

Re: 19 mb partition, where did it come from?

[Andrew Lamanche]

I run El Capitan and I have been having similar issues trying to partition an 
external drive into three partitions.  I ended up with 4 partitions - one of 
them being only 6MB and yet I can't seem to be able to merge it into another 
partition.  In the end, I've left it as it is.  I must have spent hours trying 
to get the results i wanted.  I find partitioning a disc quite a challenge.  
I'm not quite sure what I'm doing.

Best wishes

RE: 19 mb partition, where did it come from?

[Simon Fogarty]

That's interesting,
I've partitioned a number of drives either USB connected or Ethernet connected 
and I've never noticed a system type partition via the mac, although I possibly 
just didn't notice it under disk utilities 

I normally would go int to disk utils 
Select the drive, 
Then the partition tab 
Current partition as 1 or the number I required  then setup the format and 
other options and then hit apply / partition.

Can't say I've noticed anything else.
