This is do-able only when you could find the box image at Vagrant cloud or elsewhere.

Add an inexpensive external drive and let time machine back everything up so you are free to experiment without losing any games or data.How to create OS X Image Create a box image from scratch I recommend exactly what you propose, APFS containers to share all possible space. There is no need to change any tuning or limits on iOS or macOS.Įven better, containers let you share space and not get jammed with pagefile.sys blocking space. Virtual memory and swap guarantee that programs eventually run when you over load the actual resources available. You may just have to choose programs that use macOS better if your system is in memory pressure and you can’t wait for things to work. Instead, it uses all of the available space on the machine’s boot partition. Note: Unlike most UNIX-based operating systems, OS X does not use a preallocated disk partition for the backing store. The system allocates virtual memory addresses up to ~18 exabytes so that it can then swap as needed. The system decides what memory gets swapped to disk and allocates space as needed.
