I have a 2016 MBP with Big Sur and 170GB of internal drive space free and when trying to use Bootcamp to partition the drive with an 80GB disc for Windows 10 and it is stuck in the partitioning phase at ~40%…
What can I do to complete the process?
Attempting to quit the app complains that the process hasn’t been completed so it can’t quit. My only choice has been to close the MBP until later.
Here is the output of diskutil list
:
$ diskutil list

After what amounts to 2.5hrs (the MBP was closed for about a day, but went to sleep and awoke just fine) I see "Your disk could not be partitioned":
I then ran the First Aid
in Disk Utility
which claimed to be successful:
However, upon running Bootcamp
and going through the disk partitioning again, I had the same result as first seen above ("Your disk could not be partitioned.")
