I need to create multiple partitions in a Yosemite(10.10.5) CoreStorage Volume in a MacBook Pro Retina mid 2014.
MACOS (Yosemire)
DEVELOPER to symlink var/local and other(s)
WINDOWS (Windows OS)
LINUX (LINUX) *PS: it seems that linux will not load CoreStorage volumes.
HOME to make the default path of my user folder and all applications
The main idea is to make a structure that will be easy to reinstall OS X when/ if needed and then just need to create symlinks to the folders in the other partitions. Any advice will be appreciated.
I am aware that some applications will need/like to be in the boot drive application folder, is there any way to walk around this issue ?
So I issue these commands by its order:
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1
diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical_Volume_UUID
diskutil cs createVolume BFD915CA-2745-49AF-8FA9-8FA8C7FDF97F jhfs+ MACOS 35g
diskutil cs createVolume BFD915CA-2745-49AF-8FA9-8FA8C7FDF97F jhfs+ DEVELOPER 20g
diskutil cs createVolume BFD915CA-2745-49AF-8FA9-8FA8C7FDF97F jhfs+ WINDOWS 20g
diskutil cs createVolume BFD915CA-2745-49AF-8FA9-8FA8C7FDF97F jhfs+ LINUX 20g
diskutil cs createVolume BFD915CA-2745-49AF-8FA9-8FA8C7FDF97F jhfs+ HOME 400g
Volumes are not listed in diskutil cs lis by the same order I create them. In Disk Utility we also get different order. I also tried to create the volumes in the opposite order but it also does not respect the order.
Now I have Yosemite in MACOS Logical Volume.
The faster solution should be rename the Logical Volumes and resize them.
What commands should I use to resize LVs ?
Why does disk labels disk1, disk2…. don´t come in the same order as LVs were created ?
The Volumes order in Disk Utility is:
DEVELOPER
LINUX
WINDOWS
MACOS
HOME
Why not the order used to create volumes ?
MACOS
DEVELOPER
WINDOWS
LINUX
HOME
How do I fix that ? What command should I use to encrypt HOME ?
This is what I get in diskutil cs list
