Hi,
Can you please send us a problem report with this issue? For this at the moment of restoring fails make virtual machine active and in Mac application menu bar go to Help -> Send Technical data. Post report id here.
That would not help. The ISSUE (I have since found out) is that the Default MacOS partition size (regardless of the available disk) is 64Gb. The PROBLEM is that I cannot increase the files system (partition) size to match the disk size. I think this is a problem with Parallels using a Guest VM on a USB 3 drive. I Have booted to Disk Utility, Tied to resize the partition and included the problem report with that.
Report ID is 179408344
See the images attached:
- The default MacOS disk size is 64Gb
- I can resize to 300Gb
- I can make it expanding or not
- WHATEVER I do the RESIZE FILE SYSTEM option is ALWAYS Greyed out
- I have booted to Disk Utility
- I resize the partition
- The system say success
- The partition is NEVER resized
The VM is on a USB 3 Mechanical Drive (when I'm in the US in a couple of months I'll by the 1 Tb OWC SSD). I have used a 1Tb Touro USB 3 Drive and a 2Tb Toshiba USB 3 Drive all with the same result. Because I cannot resize the initial partition any time I try to do a backup (I've used timeMachine, Acronis and SuperDuper!) they all complain NOT ENOUGH DISK space.
The initial disk size with RESIZE greyed out:
This time I have resized the disk, all options are unavailable, I haven't applied the changes:
Now I have applied the changes, BUT from here I CANNOT resize the file system:
