Hi, I’ve had this same problem with OS X Yosemite where unallocated space was difficult to manage on my primary volume once I tried to manually repartition the disk. I think it has something to do with Yosemite and up converting disks to core storage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_Storage). I researched this in quite a bit of depth some weeks ago and I found many interesting ideas for resolving the problem, like this one (http://awesometoast.com/yosemite-core-storage-and-partition-woes/). However, I decided to try something much simpler first. Rather than booting from the recovery partition, I booted from Internet Recovery using COMMAND+OPTION+R. This recreates the recovery partition and does some quick tests as well on your hard drive and memory. For whatever reason, doing this caused my free space to show as being reallocated back to my startup partition. Give it a shot and if you don’t want to erase your disk, which I understand, it may be worth doing some further reading on the topic of core storage and partitioning as I’m far from an expert on the topic. And the usual disclaimers apply, e.g. back up your data before attempting any troubleshooting steps.
