Disk Utility, why can't you do that...
Non-destructive resizing can be done using
diskutil from the command line:% diskutil resizeVolume Disk Utility Tool Usage: diskutil resizeVolume [Mount Point|Disk Identifier|Device Node] size ... Non-destructively resize a disk. You may increase or decrease its size. When decreasing size, you may optionally supply a list of new partitions to create. Ownership of the affected disk is required. Valid partition sizes are in the format of . Valid sizes are B(ytes), K(ilobytes), M(egabytes), G(igabytes), T(erabytes) Example: 10G (10 gigabytes), 4.23T (4.23 terabytes), 5M (5 megabytes) resizeVolume is only supported on GPT media with a Journaled HFS+ filesystem. A size of "limits" will print the range of valid values for the current filesystem. Example: diskutil resizeVolume disk1s3 10G JHFS+ HDX1 5G MS-DOS HDX2 5G Valid filesystems: "Case-sensitive HFS+" "Journaled HFS+" "Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+" No Intel Macs here so I haven't tried it. I've recently resized volumes on PPC Macs using iPartition.
