Hi everyody,
I am currently in the process of creating a 30gb Fat32 partition on my macbook pro. And it has been running for two hours already, which is making me quite anxious, as the screen is frozen at the same time. The mouse cursor can still be moved, however everything else is frozen. Even the clock has been frozen.
Disk utility does inform you about freezing the screen if you apply changes to the startup volume, however I did not expect it to take this long...
So can anybody tell me whether this is normal? Or is it due to the fact that my ssd is encrypted? Or did everything break? Or......what can I do?
Anyway thanks for all possible help.
Some infos:
Using disk utility I went the standard route of simply selecting macintosh Hd and then click on partition. Then I selected size and format of the partition and went on to apply the changes.
I am running this on a Macbook Pro Retina - early 2015/macos 10.13/256gb.
The ssd is encrypted, and this is the first time I‘m applying changes to the main volume.
