I have a dual booted macbook with 300G partition for the macosx, 250G partition for linux mint, 8g swap for linux, and another empty partition of around 400G. (1TB HDD total)
For some reason using cfdisk it will not let me resize my partition ( as i hardly use mac osx i wanted to make my linux partition the largest on my machine)
Because i made the partition within the macosx operating system , i also tried to resize my linux partition using the disk utility device in sierra mac osx but that would also not allow me to resize the linux partition but however it would allow me to resize the mac osx partition and to also create new partitions but im unable to alter my linux mint partition, it seem frozen at 250G for some reason.
I created the 400G empty partiton in an attempt to hope that would allow me resize my linux partition and possibly add the 400G to the already existing 250G but had no luck!
I could get around this maybe by delteing linux mint delteing partiion in macosx then creating new larger partition and re installing linux mint but id rather not go that route unless i really have to. My hard drive is hdd and unfortunately is not ssd, although im not sure if this really makes a difference.
