Oops! This was intended to be in that last message as well: Just how does
one use Drive Setup to utilize unpartitioned space? All it has is an
Initialize button that lets you specify custom partitions, but it always
writes new partitions in the place of all the old ones. Is there some
kind of hidden feature (cmd-shift-opt-something) that lets it create
partitions without touching what's already there?
