I ask because Apple's own tool will not > resize hfs+ or hfsx (non-journaled). It only resizes jhfs+ and jhfsx. Asking again. Presently linux read-write support is only HFS+. Journaled HFS+ support is read only. So it seems plausible that parted will not work on journaled HFS+/HFSX. Apple has been using only journaled HFS+ and HFSX for about a decade now, only the two journaled variants are supported for booting for many years. HFS (the original) is basically dead. So I'd like to know if the parted resizing explicitly supports journaled HFS+ and HFSX since those are the only formats likely to be encountered in the real world. Chris Murphy
