[Mactel-linux-users] how to partition hdd with diskutil?

[Felipe S. <do...@gm...>]

Hi everyone.
Sorry if this email sounds rude/rough, but I have reinstall OSX 3 times today.
All I want to do is nicely format my hard drive. No swap, nothing
fancy. I want to shrink the OSX parition (disk0s2) from the full 186GB
to only 25GB, add a new partition for my Linux "/" with 129GB and
finally one for Windwos with 30GB.
All the sites from Goolge use some "Linux" as the filesystem type for
the parameter in diskutil. That is plain _WRONG_ with a 10.5 OSX
install. There is no such thing! To make it even better, diskutil
creates two empty partitions infront of the HFS+ partition. As a
result I can not merge these partitions back in without dumping my OSX
install.

Can someone please be kind enough to provide me with the correct
"filesystem" parameter needed to perform this action? Even better
would be a "full" diskutil call...

PS: How the f### can Apple ship a partitioning tool that is not able
to delete partitions? Which trainee got to play a little and write
this 'tool'?
