Just purchased the 2020 UltraPak for Mac (Catalina, with a 1 TB drive)
Installing the Real Track Shots, etc. ran into an issue. Apparently it needs to install in the Data Volume (a new feature in Mac I was not aware of.). I have only used 30% of my 1 TB drive, but this Data Volume, created by the OS, is almost full. I opened Disk Utility, looked at the option to Partition and Apply says: "APFS volumes share storage space within a container. Adding and deleting APFS volumes is faster and simpler than editing a partition map." So, if I create a new Volume, just for BIAB files, how do I name it and how does the Install program know to use the new Volume instead?
Or,
Should I re-partition the drive? That sounds risky!
thanks

Hello Mark,

With Catalina, Apple uses two volumes for the "Mac HD". One volume only has OS system files on it and the other (the "Data" one) has everything else - however this appears as a single volume and you normally can only see them as separate volumes if you look in Disk Utility. What is the problem specifically that you came across... did you get an error message with this specific installer and/or was it different than others somehow?

Also, if you click on the Mac HD icon and Get Info (command+I), how much free hard disk space does it say you have?

Andrew,
thanks for the reply.
[Please forward my response to Katherine, with whom I chatted this morning.]

See screenshot attachment.

I am running CleanMyMac. Upon running one of the packages, Clean My Mac immediately notified me that my disk was almost full.
In fact, the OS manages the space, as needed! I have a 1 TB drive which had ~700 GBs of free space this morning, so clearly I had plenty of room!

Then, I forgot that the DMG file did NOT open an install program but only mounted a drive, which held the install program! (my Finder was too small for me to notice the newly mounted file.)

So, after a FULL install of the UltraPak, I'm now down to 588 GBs, which is why I purchased my new MacBook with a 1 TB drive!

Life is good, even in COVID-land! LOL
