Apple has broken the "Disk Utility" with one of his last MacOS update.
Formatting disks is no longer possible.
Wehn I try, I get the error message "The calling process or user lacks the proper privileges to perform the operation".
When I grant full disk access to the Disk Utility, it won't come up any more, when an external disk is attached.

when the #gnomedisk #diskutility of the #Linux machine formatted the USB drive to render it invisible to itself. -

How is this whole situation acceptable???!
I can't tell how much space I've used, or have available; I can't tell how much overhead I need…
#Finder, Get Info, #DiskUtility, and #DaisyDisk **all** give me different numbers for how much space I'm using and/or have available…
What a GD clusterfuck. I thought #APFS was supposed to be an improvement…?

#DiskUtility: Anyone an idea how to solve that? Or is the #SanDisk 1TB SSD bricked? This type has usually lots of issues and isn't sold anymore. I guess I can throw it away?

Ok, this is a long shot but I’ll ask: I have an #iPod (a 30gb iPod video that’s been upgraded to a 64gb ssd). When I connect it to my #iMac (a 21.5” 2019 model running #Ventura) it will charge, but won’t appear as a device - it doesn’t show up on the desktop or sidebar, and isn’t listed in #DiskUtility. I’ve tried 2 different usb cables, same result.
Any idea of what to try? I really want to get it running! -
#DiskUtility told me my Mac’s SSD drive was nearly full after hearing from #Dropbox that it couldn't sync, because of lack of space.
Upon closer inspection, #TimeMachine had filled up the last 45% of my drive with temp files and snapshots.
Restarting three times helped. Back to only 48% full.
