Fun Mac OS X Storage Tricks with CoreStorage

Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion” added a volume manager called CoreStorage, a development I was gleeful to report last year. But what can you do with CoreStorage? Here are some examples.

To maximize usefulness, I’m dividing this into multiple posts, each with a specific CoreStorage trick:

1. Convert an existing drive to CoreStorage
2. Resize a CoreStorage volume
3. Add a new CoreStorage volume

I’ll probably add more in the future – watch this space!
