Awesome Toast Fixing stuff and maybe other things. Awesome Toast OS X Yosemite, Core Storage, and partition woes. So when a new version of any OS comes out, I like to do a clean install. On Macs, this has usually been fairly easy, since HFS partitions are pretty flexible theyll let you addremoveresize without a lot of hassle. Until Yosemite. In the past, Ive made a new partition on my drive, installed the new OS X like Mavericks, copied all my files from the old partition to the new one. Once Im sure that all is fine and dandy, I will go back and delete the older partition and give the space to the new one. But when I tried this with 1. Yosemite, I ran into a new problem. Partitions were no longer flexible. I couldnt delete or resize any of them. I found this out after spending a full day getting the new Yosemite partition just right. Some research found that Yosemite will change its partition from HFS to Core Storage. According to Ars Technica, theres not a clear reason why, either. Im not sure of all the technical details, but this apparently killed flexibility. So my new Yosemite install was stuck on a partition with only 1. GB of free space, when it could have had 4. Mavericks partition. It wouldnt even let me delete the Mavericks partition. Everything was locked.
