Using Disk Utility, the only way to do this that I know is to select the partition you want to split and then click "+" to "add" a partition. I know that I cannot "partition a partition." But you can add a partition to a disk. I tried doing some internet searches but couldn't find anything that explains how it works and why. I'm actually interested in learning the "why" not just the "how to just get this task done." Please feel free to explain or point me to some documentation.
Would it work instead to reformat the entire drive as MacOS Extended, then split it into 3, 1 TB partitions and then reformat each partition to ExFAT? Is this true? Is there a way I can do this? It appears that macOS does not support partitioning (splitting) a partition formatted as ExFAT. However, when I select the 1 TB partition (MacOS Extended), I can select the "+" and "-" buttons. But the "+" and "-" signs are grayed out. I'd like to split the 2 TB partition into 2, 1 TB partitions. I just now reformatted the 2 TB partition to ExFAT. There are two partitions,ġ TB - MacOS Extended (Journaled) - Time Machine back up partition I'm trying to partition and format my Western Digital 3TB external drive.
