On my MBP 10.6.6 I can see the resize tabs on the internal drive in disk utility and can drag them around. I have an external 1TB drive with 3 partititions that have Carbon Copy Clones of three different Macs I own. I googled and saw that you can resize any partition HFS+ Mac OS extended internal or external. It also says you can not resize a partition that has a Master Boot Record (MBR). According to disk utility I can resize either of the two partitions on my internal drive but the external drive doesn't show the ability to resize any of the three partitions. Is this because each partition is a carbon copy clone of a boot drive? Does carbon copy clone create an MBR on each partition it clones to? Does it matter that I'm connected to the external drive through an esata express card? I took an empty drive and repartitioned it with 2 HFS+ partitions and before anything was copied to it there were still no resize tabs at the bottom right of
the partitions. What am I missing here?
