When you choose destination partitions, select the 512MB FAT32 partition and mount it on /boot/efi. Initialize the disk as GPT (because you must have a UEFI GRUB boot loader, since Clover works only with UEFI systems)Ĭreate a EFI 512MB partition formated FAT32 (VFAT)Ĭreate a ext4 xGB (in my case 50GB) / partition and flag it as bootĬreate a ext4 yGB (in my case 70GB) /homeīoot from linux (Manjaro) Installer USB stick The best way to have a Linux (in this case Manjaro) distro booted from Clover is to do the following. To get back to the story of installing Manjaro onto the GPT disk with UEFI GRUB. boot into a SYSTEMRESCUECD live bistro and make a partition to partition image copy of the shrinked btrfs partition into the new (smaller) partition.while btrfs filesystem resize -200M /mnt/manjhome do true done.then you can shrink the btrfs file system with the following commands (incremental shrinking up to the unallocated space size).btrfs filesystem usage -b /mnt/manjhome.create a mount point for the partition to shrink.find out info for the btrfs partition you want to shrink (which partition and size of min free and unallocated space on the partition).Well, I did it but I did not like the result! Anyway, to make a long story short, the only way to fit a larger btrfs partition into a smaller one, is to first shrink the btrfs filesystem.

WRONG! Since the new disk was smaller and the /home partition was in btrfs filesystem, it took me two days to find out how to fit larger partitions into smaller partitions an especially the btrfs formatted partition. But since I had that spare 128GB SDD, I decided to transfer it to the faster disk. I had Manjaro Linux as a dual boot OS on a extended partition (/, swap, /home logical partitions) of a HDD together with an old Windows 7 distro.

After spending a couple of days trying all sorts of combinations to install Manjaro on a spare 128GB SDD that I had laying around and have it boot from Clover (I have a Hackintosh, Sierra 10.12.6 on AMD FX-6300 CPU), I finally decided to do what was probably the proper solution.
