I created a partition on my Macintosh HD ( 500 GB ) at max possible size of 113 GB - not sure why it can not be bigger even when the whole disk is almost empty. I installed Big Sur on this partition. After booting in the new partition I figured out that the new partition changed from 113 GB to 40 GB. Why is that happening. Someone has a solution for that ?

After connecting my M1 to an Intel Mac where I started Configurator 2 the M1 boots in a loop, seeing the Apple Logo and the progressbar until half and then restart and same again in a endless loop. When I connected the M1 to the Intel Mac with Configurator 2 open I set the M1 in DFU mode and Configurator 2 said it need to download and install something ( "1 item" ). After that it restarted and I saw the M1 in DFU mode again after Configurator 2 restarted. I didn't do any restore or revive. I closed Configurator 2 and restarted the M1. From thenon it is in a boot loop. I opened the recovery mode on the M1 and First aided the Macintosh HD drive and the DATA drive. Both successful without any errors. When I boot the M1 in option mode to see which drives available I don't see the Macintosh HD anylonger only the Options entry. How can I make the Macintosh HD be able to used as Boot drive again ?

Having an M1 here with encrypted HDD. I am using the Recovery Mode and the "Share Disk" Utility. I share the Macintosh HD and connect a USB3 cable to my Intel Macbook Pro. There I see the Network / Macintosh HD connected as Guest. When I want to open the folder I get this Message: The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “Macintosh HD” can’t be found. How can I solve that ?
