Secrets of the GPT

In the move from the Apple Partition Map (APM), to the new GUID partition table (GPT) there’s a lot of questions around why, how and what does it mean to me. We’ve discovered a wonderful Technical Note on Apple’s Developer website answering all of these questions – Technical Note TN2166

  • Get:
    hfs.util -k /dev/disk0s1

    Set:
    hfs.util -s /dev/disk0s1

    You aren’t able to specify a UUID, but that’s kind of the point.

    • Sorry for the blast from the past, but I only get “hfs.util: command not found”.

      I’ve read the manpage, tried sudo and referencing the full path at…
      /System/Library/Filesystems/hfs.fs/hfs.util
      Still get same error message.

      What am I missing? Not critical, just curious.

      Thanks!
