Although you can set minimum and maximum sizes, known as Reserve and Quota respectively, they share free space. But volumes don’t ‘share’ free space on the disk: they have fixed sizes which you have to set when you create them using Disk Utility or diskutil, its command line equivalent.ĪPFS Volumes are quite different, though.

You can change a disk’s partition map to add or remove volumes, and macOS tries to do this as non-destructively as possible, as it will when you want to change volume sizes. In HFS+, a disk is partitioned into one or more volumes. This article tries to make clear the differences between Containers and Volumes, so that you can choose better which to use. I too became a little confused when it was recently suggested that adding a new Container to a disk was a good way to solve a particular problem, because APFS Containers “share free space”.

If you’re used to working with the traditional partitions and volumes of HFS+, APFS can quickly become confusing.
