Mediakit reports no such partition

I have Leopard and Ubuntu installed side by side on my MacBook. I am running out of space on Leopard and wanted to free up some space.
So I loaded the Live version of Ubuntu and made the native Ubuntu partition smaller.
I then restarted and loaded the Disk Utility from the Leopard installation CD and tried to make my Leopard partition larger, however after I click 'Apply', a message comes up saying: Mediakit reports no such partition.
Anyone know what the issue could be? Why can I not add the free space to the Leopard partition?
Thank you!

It is possible that Ubuntu is holding onto the partition, or it is formatted in a way that won't let Disk Utility handle it. Try looking on some Ubuntu forums as there are probably not that many people here with any experience with Ubuntu.

  • Disk Utility: MediaKit reports no such partition

    What is up with my disk?
    On my brand new mac mini, I played around with resizing partitions in Disk Utility, it worked fine, and I eventually returned it to the original single-partition state.
    Then, I ran boot camp, and told it to create a 10 GB partition.
    Then, I installed Linux (64-bit Ubuntu) -- from the Linux installer I deleted the windows partition, and a zero-size partition before it, and put Linux swap and ext3 partitions in that space.
    Now, from the mac side, if I try to shrink the boot partition again, I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition".
    Help? One potentially related anomaly is that Disk Utility shows my Linux ext3 partition format as "MS-DOS (FAT)" but the "fdisk" command correctly lists it as "Linux files*"
    Another disturbing thing is that if I type "sudo pdisk" on the Macintosh command line, and give the 'L' command to list partitions on all disks, pdisk exits with the error "Floating point exception"
    Here's the log from Disk Utility:

    It doesn't sound like you've actually tried reformatting the entire drive, just resizing partitions. There is absolutely no reason why mountability should enter into the picture at all since you can't format a drive if any volumes are mounted.

  • Hello, I am trying to upgrade to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error. Resizing the partition does not work, I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot

    Hello, I am trying to upgrade my macbook pro to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error.
    Resizing the partition does not work for me and I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot and the disk manager is lost.
    Anyway to tell the yosemite installer that it should not pay attention whether the disk is bootable or not ?
    If I am doomed, any way to delete the installer and downloaded OS from my hard drive ?
    Thanks for your help

    As usual, the Linux installer wrecked the partition table. You would have to boot from your OS X installation disc and repartition. Doing so will of course remove all data from the drive, so you must back up first if you haven't already done so.

  • Mediakit reports that the partition is too small

    Hi everyone,
    I have a NAS (QNAP TS-239ProII+) connected to my network. I have created a iscsi target and a LUN attached to that target (let's say 1GB - it's a test).
    That target is mounted on the iMac using GlobalSAN. So, that drive is seen like a local harddrive. The first time I try to access it, macosx reports that the volume need to be initialize --> the disk utility launches and I can format the disk --> everything is fine.
    Now, I decide to modifiy the LUN's size from 1GB to 2GB (it's done through the admin console of the NAS) --> the imac stills view a 1GB size HD (which is normal). So I launch Disk Utility in order to resize the partition of the target iscsi : DU show me that the drive has 2 GB drive and there is one partition of 1GB.
    When I try the modify the partition size (the idea is to avoid formatting the existing partition of course ), I get a message "Partition failed : Mediakit reports that the partition (card) is too small"
    Why? How to solve this issue?
    Thank and regards,
    Fabrice

  • Install error : disk cannot be used to start up your computer [or] MediaKit reports partition (Map) too small

    Greetings,
    I am aware that this problem has been discussed, but in long and vague discussions that I had to sift deeply to find an answer. Therefore I am posting a clear message, as this problem can be very troublesome for someone who just received a Mac OS installation disk and cannot install it.
    Situation : you cannot install/update your new system because the installer does not consider your volume.
    Error message : this disk cannot be used to start up your computer.
    Version française : Ce disque ne peut pas être configuré pour démarrer votre ordinateur.
    Also discussed below error: "MediaKit reports partition (Map) too small"
    Note : although this occurred with a Snow Leopard (10.6) install DVD, it can alo occur with Lion (10.7) according to discussions on Apple web site.
    IF YOUR CONDITIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS :
    - You are using an official Apple installation DVD of Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) [or 10.7 Lion] or an official download/upgrade of those systems.
    - Your main Mac partition scheme is in GUID as it should be (check with Disk Utility). That partition contains a Mac system that can start-up.
    - Your volume format is: Mac OS Extended (journaled) [the format should not be Case Sensitive.]
    - You have the hardware requirements to install Mac OS 10.6 (Intel processor; internal or external DVD drive or a linked DVD drive; 1 GB of RAM; a screen controlled by your computer graphics card; at least 5 GB space on the hard disk or 7 GB if you install all components).
    - Using Disk Utility, you of course tried the disk Repair Tool and the Repair Permissions tool.
    - Your hard disk does not have a file called Backups.backupdb (if it does, this means Time Machine has once used this hard disk for its back-ups). Anyhow, if it were the case, the installation would give a different error message (with the word TimeMachine). This file may block the installation: Apple Support suggest to place it in the garbage, *without* deleting it, and placing it back on the disk later. Mind you, if you do not use this hard disk as such to save your Time Machine back-ups, you can simply delete this file.
    HOW TO FIX :
    1. Boot with the 10.6 install DVD (Tip: you can either select Mac 10.6 as the boot DVD in your Start-up Preferences or simply press down c during the start-up).
    2. Above the install screen, you have a Utilities tab from where you can run Disk Utility. Select your hard disk and select the Partition tab. Resize the primary Mac partition (don't add a new one) by decreasing it by about 5 GB.
    It will look like this http://i.imgur.com/jHTbr.jpg
    ( That image shows only one partition, but the same principle applies even if you have two or more partitions on your disk.)
    Also see the official Apple how to: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926
    Version française: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926?viewlocale=fr_FR
    3. Commit the change by hitting "Apply"
    3.b. If you get the error "MediaKit reports partition (Map) too small", this is a rare error where the partition that follows (for example Bootcamp) is slightly overlapping your main Mac partition. You will need to reduce that other following partition. Once you have reduced the other partition, you will probably need to return to step 2 and 3 and try again.
    [ For example, in my case, I had resized my Bootcamp with CampTune software and it would seem that the file system ended-up somehow larger than the actual partition container. I simply asked CampTune to reduce the partition a bit (barely 2 GB) and that fixed it.]
    4. Reboot, again into the 10.6 install DVD.
    5. You can then install 10.6.
    6. Once 10.6 is installed, use the Disk Utility on the desktop (you can boot into the primary HD at this point) to resize the primary partition back to its original or maximum size.

    When I click on the icon for this drive, the warning message below states "Mac OS X cannot be installed on 'iMac HD', because this disk cannot be used to start up your computer." Obviously that's not true, since that's where the OS is installed.
    How did you partition this drive, if you did that? Does it contain start up or utility partitions for any other OS (for instance Linux)? There have been reports that the "cannot be used to start up your computer" message will appear if a third party utility was used to create a 'triple boot' system or such, apparently because SL is picky about the format GUID partition scheme table info & how partitions are allocated space on the drive by other formatting/partition methods.
    For some users with these partitions, the fix has been as simple as "tickling" (slightly changing) the partition size of some partition with Disk Utility, which apparently updates the GUID partition scheme table info so that the SL installer accepts it as safe to use with SL.( In this sense, the message may be trying to say the installer thinks the disk can't be used to reliably start up your computer with SL, not in general.)
    See the discussions topic Cannot install Snow Leopard over 10.5.8 for more about this.

    I booted with a Linux Live CD (Backtrack 4.R1) run GParted and found a little invisible partition, then I deleted it, and reboot into MAC again and now I could use the full disk.

  • Disk Utility error "Mediakit reports partition map too small. 3TB

    So I have a Mac Pro with a 3TB inside, but Snow Leopard won't recognize the whole 3TB. I can format it, but it only allows 801.23 GB. The remaining space is left as Free Space. When I try to resize the Volume, I get this:
    I get this error: " Partition failed with an error." MediaKit reports partition (map) too small.
    Can someone help me find a way to utilize the 3TB as it was intended to?
    My setup:

    Anyways, i've made it work. My process was this:
    Problem:
    1. I put MacPro into Target Disk Mode to mount to my 2011 MacBook Pro. Disk Utility on MBP would only see 800GB.
    Solution:
    2. Booted the SL CD on the MacPro and ran Disk Utility from there. In the partitions tab, I chose 1 partition, and hit apply.
    3. "could not unmount disk."
    4. So I tried to partition it again, and it worked this time. 3TB Available.
    5. I then booted the MacPro using an external HD with OSX on it to run CarbonCopyCloner to reimage my backup.
    I hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.

  • Mirrored RAID:  MediaKit reports block size error

    I am trying to create a 2nd set up backup drives for my photos.  I have two new iomega 2TB drives, which look essentially identical to drives I'm currently using as my primary backups as a mirrored RAID set.
    I can start the process with freshly erased and reformatted drives (with the default mac format, extended, journaled, unencrypted, not case-sensitive).  And after a minute or three, I see
    "MediaKit reports block size error, usually caused by not being a multiple of 512."
    The RAID options are Mirrored RAID, Mac extended journaled, and options settings are default.
    I see several series of posts with complaints about encrypting RAIDs and disk block sizes, but not unencrypted errors.   I actually started out trying to do this with the 2006 MBP running 10.6.8 and got a different error:  "POSIX reports:  the operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted."  I wasn't sure whether the 2TB RAID I already have was set up iwth the older or newer computer--it was definitely before I put Lion on this one--so I tried this one and now have a different error.
    Any idea what the problem might be? 

    Update:  I spent some time on the phone with an Apple support RAID expert, and couldn't figure out what the error was; we couldn't bypass it by playing with partitions on the drives, or any of another couple of manuevers that I've already forgotten.  He noted that his own searches were showing a lot of mentions of similar problems but only with Iomega drives, and he was finding the same links I found earlier about problems creating encrypted drives.  Now trying to decide if it's worth throwing more good money after bad for a call with Iomega support, and waiting to see if the iomega forum is at all helpful.

  • Mediakit Reports error

    I have just recently deleted my ubuntu partition on my mac hard drive and now i cannot get the space back on to my harddrive.
    I have already tried to recreated that partition and then remove and hoping that it would work, but it didn't. I have also
    completely erased my entire hd and started from scratch (I orginally had lion software), but now I keep getting an error message that says mediakit
    reports partition map too small. Now, I don't know what to do with it. I have all of my stuff back up on time machine and i have another external with just my files with no time machine.
    I really need help.

    This does indeed seem to be the problem.
    Before you replied I RMAed the Seagate disk assuming it to be faulty, because, well, 4k is a multiple of 512b and all. Today, my new WesternDigital disk arrived - it gives the IDENTICAL error. The changes of two disks from two vendors both being faulty seem low, so I think we can safely say OS X has a nasty security bug that has been languishing for some time.
    It seems the only way I can protect my backups is to use 3rd party softeware, or to find an old 2TB disk somewhere that still has 512b blocks rather than 4k blocks.
    Hopefully Apple get this bug fixed soon, and hopefully others will find this post when they google the error message and at least understand that their disk is probably fine.

  • [Solved] Grub2 - Error: no such partition

    I have setup a multi-boot environment - Debian, Arch, Fedora and Win8
    The Debian Grub2 is installed on the MBR. Fedora and Arch Grub2s are installed on the partitions. So I chainload the Arch grub from the Debian Grub with
    menuentry "Arch Linux" {
    set root=(hd1,msdos9)
    chainloader +1
    The arch partition is
    # ls /dev/disk/by-label/ -la
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 140 Apr 19 23:57 .
    drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 120 Apr 20 2013 ..
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 19 23:57 arch -> ../../sdb9
    This has been working for a long time. At some point I updated the Arch boot via a chroot. Along with updating the Debian install.
    Now when I try boot the Arch install I get the message Error: no such partition after selecting the Arch Linux option from the Debian grub.
    I am still able to chroot to /dev/sdb9 and perform system maintenance. I just can't boot into it.
    This may also be important when run from the chroot environment
    # grub-install --force --recheck /dev/sdb9

    /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
    Installation finished. No error reported.
    Am I missing something?

    i am using my bootloader the way that works for me
    as long as the bios and grub have the disks in the sam eorder, the way grub currently works means there is no issue.
    i have been running this kind of setup before grub2.
    all that has happened here is that i mistook a grub issue for an arch issue. and because arch is a secondary distro, it did not matter to me how quickly the issue was solved.

  • "MediaKit reports block size error" when formatting drive

    I got a new 2TB hard drive, and I'm trying to format it as HFS+ journaled case sensitive encrypted, each time I try I get the following error:
    "MediaKit reports block size error, usually caused by not being a multiple of 512."
    This is a brand new drive, it has a GUID partition map with one partition, that was created by Disk Utility, and the disk passed a full hardware scan from Drive Genius.
    Normally when I get an error I can google it, but this particular error only gives me links to RAID problems, and I'm not doing anything with RAID.
    What determines the block size? I did not get an option to set it anywhere that I could see.
    How do I fix this error and get my drive encrypted?

    This does indeed seem to be the problem.

    Hi everyone. I fixed the issue... somehow. By removing the account from TB and setting it up again, TB was able to synch with the folders that were on Alpine. The ghost folder still showed up (despite not existing on the Alpine site), but by changing the IMAP server directory from "mail" to "mailbox" the ghost folder disappeared. I ended up with folders that were named oddly (most likely due to changing the directory name) so when I changed the IMAP server directory back to "mail" it reset my folders to the way they were, with the exception of the ghost folder, which was no longer there. I'm not entirely sure why this worked, but in case someone else has a similar issue, I recommend giving it a try.
    Thanks everyone for your comments and help.

  • MediaKit reports partition (map) too small

    I recently needed to upgrade my 320GB Hard Drive, in doing so I used a stand alone HDD cloner to copy my data to my new 750GB drive. Now, all seemed well and good until launching my computer after the switch, I still had a 320GB hard drive according to Mac OS X. I later figured it was just a partition of my 750 disk that needed to be expanded.
    Trying to expand my partition to utilize the full 750GBs of my hard drive leaves me with this error message:
    I don't know what to do, I've verified and repaired disk permissions and the disk itself. Does anyone have a solution for this? 

    Disk Utility is not very adventurous about taking over a partition table created by other programs. That is probably a good thing, because one false move could trash your entire drive.
    You should have at least one full backup of your User data before proceeding. (The system can be re-installed form DVDs in  an hour or so.) Sometimes Bad Stuff happens.
    As I see it, there are two paths:
    1) go back to the utility that did the cloning, and see if it can adjust the partition table to add another Volume.
    2) Erase the drive and re-partition with Disk Utility. This erases all your data, which you will then have to restore from your backups.
    The second approach sounds draconian, but if/when you upgrade to 10.7, Disk Utility wants to create an additional "hidden" partition for System Recovery. If you do not get your partition table into a form Disk Utility likes now, you WILL have to do it later to upgrade.

    I recently un partitioned my mac book pro with bootcamp in order to gain more space for my mac side.  Now it will neither increse the space on the mac side nor will it re-partition again.  What should I do?

    Hi Rachel,
    Your best bet would be to clone uour present OSX Install to an external Drive, Boot from that & erse the Internal drive, clone back to the Internal drive.

  • Transaction or report for showing partitions and total amount in BW 3.5?

    Hello,
    I want to fulfill a unicode conversion of a BW 3.5 system and found out, that this system has some tables with plenty of table partitions (700-1200). To calculate the table splitting it would be very helpful if there is a transaction or report where I can enter the name of a table and the result will be the amount of partitions and the calculated sum of all partitions including the header table.
    Does this exist in a SAP BW 3.5 system?!
    If not, are there useful alternatives?
    Thanks in advance

    Hey you two,
    Yes, I know already DB02 and I used it to show a list with object type "TABLE PART*". But then, I get a list of ca. 4900 table partitions. I just want to have a list looking like:
    /BIC/B000637000      155 Partitions   106,0 Gb Whole Size
    I don't want to know the partitions themselves, but the amount and the header table - and of course the whole size. Is that also possible with DB02?
