I’m trying to shrink my bootcamp.
first, I tried ‘tools-shrink’ to my bootcamp disk.
After a long waiting, disk has been disabled. and after that, I can’t mount it…
second, I tried to shrink my .winclone file, which contains my bootcamp.
I made sparse bundle disk image(guid, ms-dos(FAT)).
But I tried to restore .winclone to this blank image, it says that image’s block size is 512 and .winclone’s is 4096, and it’ll be un-bootable…
I found that this problem will not happen on winclone6, but it did…
What can I do?
Is there anyway to make sparse bundle image that has 4096 block size???
There doesn’t seem to be a way to create a 4096 disk image on macOS. It seems hard coded to 512 bytes.
You can use the command line tool to expand the partition using the command line:
sudo /Applications/Winclone\ 6.app/Contents/Resources/tools/sbin/ntfsresize -f -f /dev/disk0s4
For example:
MachPower:~ tperfitt$ sudo /Applications/Winclone\ 6.app/Contents/Resources/tools/sbin/ntfsresize -f -f /dev/disk0s4
