Logical Volume Group "Available Space" Can anyone help explain why there is 17gb worth of free space on my LVG I can't seem to do anything with this space. Is there anyway to fix this? I have already reformatted the disk then cloned the contents back with CCC. I also have FileVault enabled.

Whenever I see this on others setups it is usually a few KB not 17gb!
You may be [not] seeing the other partitions on the drive, Recovery &amp; EFI, which will be contributing to that 'extra' space.

Try enabling the debug menu in Disk Utility, then enabling all partition view…


Quit Disk Utility
Open the Terminal utility
Run the following Command:
defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled 1
Relaunch Disk Utility
In the new Debug menu, enable 'Show every partition'
check if EFI &amp; Recovery add up to the 'missing' space
For me, EFI is tiny, approx 200MB, but Recovery is approx 1.2GB
I don't have an LVG, so there may be a 4th partition governing that.
