Backups were made and experimentation began. Goal was simply to swap out a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro to a 2TB Samsung 850 Pro. It would be great to see the same example but with an existing BootCamp partition in place within the APFS container to use unallocated space outside of the APFS container.Īttempts to use these command lines with a High Sierra partition and its associated BootCamp volume to increase the APFS container to use unallocated space were unsuccessful. usr/sbin/diskutil apfs resizeContainer /dev/ " $apfs_container_id " 0Įcho "Filesystem detected: $boot_filesystem_check "Įcho "Unknown filesystem on boot drive. # Use the diskutil apfs resizeContainer to usr/sbin/diskutil info / | awk '/Part of Whole/ ' ) To identify the container for the boot volume, use the diskutil command shown below: When you grow the APFS container, the APFS volumes will likewise get additional space. APFS volumes are what act as the mounted filesystem, where you store your files, directories, metadata, etc. Identify the appropriate APFS container:ĪPFS containers act as storage pools for APFS volumes. For more details, see below the jump.įor an APFS boot drive, you need to do two things:ġ.
Now that Apple File System (APFS) is available and the default file system on macOS High Sierra, a different procedure must be used in order to resize the APFS-formatted boot drive of an existing virtual machine.
However, that guidance only applies to a boot drive that uses HFS+ for its filesystem.

A while back, I wrote a post on how to resize the boot drive of an existing virtual machine.
