Can't make more than two partitions
I want to multiboot my MacBook Pro, I'm trying to make partitions but in Disk Utility I can't make my partitions, only can divide by 2? Why? It's a normal SSD not a fusion drive (SSD+HD).
Now I'm fresh installing my Mac with internet recovery... (Second time) but this time in Disk Utility by internet recovery instead click on erase I clicked in partitions and make a partition named Macintosh HD.
What I'm doing wrong?

To be able to create a multi-boot environment you have to revert from a CoreStorage partition layout to a standard partition layout.
- Start to internet recovery mode by pressing altcmdR while booting.
- Open Terminal.app in the menubar Utilities → Terminal
- enter
diskutil cs revert LVUUID
and hit the ⏎ key.
(LVUUID is the Logical Volume UUID. You get it by enteringdiskutil cs list
in Terminal.app)
In your case it'sdiskutil cs revert 36635140-167F-4638-BF3C-4477ADAA6B21
.
If your CoreStorage Volume is tagged as 'revertible' this command should convert your CoreStorage volume to a standard volume non-destructively. - Enter 'exit' when the conversion is finished and quit Terminal.app.
- Open Disk Utility and partition your SSD as you need.
