I would like to install Gentoo to a small partition on my iMac G5, |
2 |
preferably without killing OS X. In the Gentoo handbook, "Preparing |
3 |
the Disks" it says: |
4 |
|
5 |
"Warning: parted is able to resize partitions. On the Installation CD |
6 |
there are patches included to resize HFS+ filesystem. Unfortunately it |
7 |
is risky to resize HFS+ journaled filesystems, be sure to switch off |
8 |
journaling in Mac OS X first and make sure to run a disk checking tool |
9 |
after the resize." |
10 |
|
11 |
In Disk Utility I can only find out how to turn journaling on, not |
12 |
off. Is there some other way to do this? (Console command, etc?) I am |
13 |
running OS X 10.4.2. |
14 |
|
15 |
If there is no way to turn off journalling, how dangerous is resizing |
16 |
a journaled partition? (What am I risking? Data loss? A broken |
17 |
system?) I have backed up my most important data, but I would like to |
18 |
keep the system intact if possible. |
