    Hello ubuntuforums,

    I have my partition layout different than normal.(I converted my file system to the latest APFS when I reinstalled macos)

    $ diskutil list
    /dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.3 GB   disk0
       1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1
       2:                 Apple_APFS Container disk1         500.1 GB   disk0s2
    
    
    /dev/disk1 (synthesized):
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      APFS Container Scheme -                      +500.1 GB   disk1
                                     Physical Store disk0s2
       1:                APFS Volume disk0s2                 172.7 GB   disk1s1
       2:                APFS Volume Preboot                 44.5 MB    disk1s2
       3:                APFS Volume Recovery                509.8 MB   disk1s3
       4:                APFS Volume VM                      2.1 GB     disk1s4

    Moved to Apple sub-forum.

    Do not know Mac, but with Linux you will need to use Linux formats for / like ext4.
    It does not seem Apple has well documented the APFS system.
