Ok, double post, but something completely unrelated.
So I'm upgrading the SD card on my Nintendo Switch which is becoming a bit of a nuisance. By simply copying the contents in the SD to my Mac and then to the new SD (like Nintendo advises) I just get an error reading the new SD. It was properly formatted in the Switch prior to it.
So I used Disk Utility and I made an image out of the old 64GB SD. And then restored the image to the new 200GB SD. This was a partial success, as the new SD worked in the Switch and all the content was there. However, it was recognized as a 64GB SD. Then I realized the same happens in the Mac, it sees the 200GB SD as a 64GB SD.
With terminal I can see that the old SD partition map looks like:
Code:
/dev/disk2 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *63.9 GB disk2
1: Windows_NTFS 63.8 GB disk2s1
And the new SD looks like:
Code:
/dev/disk2 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *196.9 GB disk2
1: Windows_NTFS 63.8 GB disk2s1
I don't know why terminal sees NTFS partitions when DiskUtil says it's exFAT, but maybe that has something to do with why simply copying the data is giving an error? In any case, clearly it can still be observed at some level that the SD is 200GB so is there any way to extend the "Windows_NTFS" partition to the max and potentially solve this whole thing? DiskUtil Partition button is unfortunately greyed out.
