The startup disk does not have enough space to be partitioned boot camp

When clicking continue on the initially Boot Camp screen, I am presented via a dialog that displays:

The startup disk does not have enough space to be partitioned.

You watching: The startup disk does not have enough space to be partitioned boot camp

You need to have at leastern 39 GB of free room available.

This is despite "About this Mac" reporting 271GB of totally free space:

And "Disk Utility" reporting 268GB of cost-free space:

Searching online I uncovered this reddit thread which suggested it was the outcome of Time Machine which i recently permitted and argues to run sudo tmutil thinlocalsnapshots / 999999999999 which I did, it ran sucessfully, and also I restarted, yet to no avail.

What is the solution to this instance of vivaworldcup.info"s poor engineering?

Running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 (17E202)

Okay, the solution is that I did not disable Time Machine and rerelocate all backup drives initially. Doing that resolved the problem. So the complete solution is:

Disable "Back-up Up Automatically" in Time Machine System Preferrals, and remove all backup drives, such that it looks choose this:

Then run sudo tmutil thinlocalsnapshots / 999999999999

And attempt aacquire. Optionally rebegin the computer and also try aobtain.

In Mojave, what I had to execute was revolve off Time Machine and then run this command also to pressure clean out the regional snapshots:

tmutil thinlocalsnapshots / 1000000000 1wright here 1000000000 is the size of your drive and the "1" implies immediate. This has to be done a couple of times considering that it only cleans up a few local snapshots each time.

After that, you need to be able to check out enough space available via this command:

diskutil apfs resizecontainer disk0s2 limits
