Lion recovery partition woes
16.08.2012
Had a hard time with a Lion recovery partition I manually created on a
brand new drive. Mountain Lion refused to install, claimed problem was due to
inability to create recovery partition (which was already there, hence this
made no sense). The error turned out to be the fact that the recovery partition
was larger than 650 MB which is somehow problematic. I needed to resize the
recovery partition which worked like this:
$ asr adjust --target /dev/disk4s3 -settype "Apple_HFS"
$ diskutil resizeVolume disk4s3 650002432B
$ asr adjust --target /dev/disk4s3 -settype "Apple_Boot"

Just in case you wonder: an error like
Invalid B-tree node size (3, 0)
on an Apple_Boot partition is bogus, you need to set the type
to Apple_HFS for fsck_hfs to work properly.
