I’m trying to create a small FAT32 partition which I can use to transfer files between my Macintosh HD partition and the Windows Bootcamp partition on my Mac.
I’m using Big Sur. I’ve gone to Disk Utility and clicked ‘partition’ when ‘Fusion Drive’ is selected on the left.
When FAT32 or ExFat is selected as the new partition format, I am unable to change the size of the volume. It’s stuck at 360GB, and I only want 1GB.
I don’t want to play around with this without understanding it, because it’s dangerous.
Does anyone know what I need to do to be able to create a smaller partition?
EDIT:
My model of mac: iMac 2019.
