I didn't use the installer to partition the disk, only to format an existing /dev/sda3 partition as ext3 for root and /dev/sda4 as swap under "manual partitioning". The Apple driver is on /dev/sda2. Here's the disk partitioning as reported by mac-fdisk in Debian 10: ----- # mac-fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda # type name length base ( size ) system /dev/sda1 map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map /dev/sda2 Dr43 Macintosh 32 @ 64 ( 16.0k) Driver 4.3 /dev/sda3 unix root 12582912 @ 96 ( 6.0G) Linux native /dev/sda4 unix swap 1048576 @ 12583008 (512.0M) Linux swap /dev/sda5 unix test 8192 @ 13631584 ( 4.0M) Linux native /dev/sda6 Free Extra 5234593 @ 13639776 ( 2.5G) Free space /dev/sda7 unix data 4427887 @ 18874369 ( 2.1G) Linux native /dev/sda8 unix root_backup 4194304 @ 23302256 ( 2.0G) Linux native /dev/sda9 HFS MacOS 4194304 @ 27496560 ( 2.0G) HFS /dev/sda10 HFS Data 4194304 @ 31690864 ( 2.0G) HFS Block size=512, Number of Blocks=35885168 ----- This looks suspicious -- 2147483648 looks like something hit a 2 GB limit. Also, the sizes are wrong, and there's no usr partition, so maybe these are defaults of some sort? parted_server: OUT: 1 512-32767 32256 primary unknown /dev/sda1 Apple parted_server: OUT: 2 32768-49151 16384 primary unknown /dev/sda2 Macintosh parted_server: OUT: 3 49152-2147532799 2147483648 primary sun-ufs /dev/sda3 root parted_server: OUT: 4 2147532800-2684403711 536870912 primary unknown /dev/sda4 swap parted_server: OUT: 5 2684403712-6979371007 4294967296 primary unknown /dev/sda5 usr parted_server: OUT: -1 6979371008-9663676927 2684305920 primary free /dev/sda-1 parted_server: OUT: 7 9663676928-11930755071 2267078144 primary ext3 /dev/sda7 data
