![]() When I have recreated the same partitioning layout using fdisk it was recognized properly. Looking at the drive with fdisk I've discovered that EFI System partition was created in the beginning of the disk with size of 200MB. ![]() Finally I have partitioned the drive from macOS and created a new partition. When I have formatted the partition (using mkfs.hfsplus from hfsprogs) the partition was recognized but I was unable to initialize it for Time Machine or format with the same error as before. It was not recognized (the inserted disk is not readable dialogue), nor was I able to format the partition (with "Media kit reports not enough space on device" error) which was shown as full in the Disk Utility. I've partitioned the drive using GPT scheme and created one unformatted Apple HFS/HFS+ partition on Arch Linux using fdisk. ![]() I needed to partition an external hard drive to be usable on macOS (for Time Machine backups). TL DR macOS expects 200 MB EFI System partition in the beginning of a hard drive, don't like unformatted partitions and creates 128 MB Apple boot partitions after each real partition whenever you format it.
