Help with resizing Bootcamp partition on 10.10.3 and CoreStorage
Post Body

Hey guys!

So Basically this is my first Mac (rMBP late-2013 11,3) and I did a bootcamp partition. Everything is working perfect with that! Problem is, when I made it I misjudged how much space I would need(project files for work get pretty big) so I would like to resize it a bit bigger.

I tried researching some solutions but haven't had any luck. Tried using Disk Utility to resize my Macintosh HD logical partition smaller but it's greyed out. If I can get my Mac HD partition smaller, then I can expand my bootcamp partition from the Windows side.

I was doing some research and it seems that when Apple switched to using CoreStorage that it messed up some capabilities with partitioning/bootcamp.

I am not very knowledgeable with Terminal or CoreStorage so i'm not sure where to proceed. I saw there is a way to revert CoreStorage using Terminal but what all would that affect? There must have been a reason they switched, so what would I be missing out on by reverting?

Also,how would i revert back? It looks like it involves Terminal commands, which I have never really used.

Any help getting this sorted would be wonderful!
