Missing disk space after failed Bootcamp install

Question

Earlier today, while running Bootcamp attempting to install Windows 7 on my late-2012 iMac, I suddenly lost 160g of disk space after Bootcamp failed to create the partition for Windows. Disk Utility reports that the main Fusion Drive is still 1.1tb, but the only visible partition is Macintosh HD, spanning only 950gb instead of the entire disk (minus the hidden recovery partition). Disk Utility also duly notes that there are only 2 partitions, which I assume to be the main harddrive and the recovery partition:

diskutil cs list actually shows what happened to the storage (note the free space, which exactly matches what I specified in Bootcamp):

Trying to run diskutil cs resizeVolume 933B0D1B-9E56-4DB3-8853-013BE1C2C6E4 0g to give Macintosh HD the remaining space did't work out either:

The Core Storage Logical Volume UUID is 933B0D1B-9E56-4DB3-8853-013BE1C2C6E4

Error: -69674: The provided Core Storage logical volume has an incorrect size; you should run whole-disk repair

diskutil verifyDisk disk0 ends with the following:

Storage system check exit code is 0

Problems were found with the partition map which might prevent booting

gpt -r show gives the following:

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this Free Space back, preferably without needing to wipe my harddrive?

Answer 1

You need to reinstall Mac OS X

Backup your system/data.

1. Boot into Internet Recovery (CMD + R + i)
2. Open Terminal

3. Erase your Macintosh HD Volume

   diskutil cs deleteVolume 933B0D1B-9E56-4DB3-8853-013BE1C2C6E4  
   

4. Erase Macintosh Volume Group

   diskutil cs delete 320B77F3-91C2-4221-B24C-D8B91C233D32
   

5. Erase SSD this should disk0, verify!

   diskutil eraseDisk jhfs+ SSD disk0
   

6. Erase HDD this should disk1, verify!

   diskutil eraseDisk jhfs+ HDD disk1
   

7. Create LV Group (order is critical SSD and HDD in that order, verify!)

   diskutil cs create OSX-MacintoshLVG disk0s2 disk1s2
   

8. Create Logical Volume

   diskutil cs createVolume <UUID from Step 7> jhfs+ "Macintosh HD" 100%
   

9. Restore from TM or reinstall Mac OS
