One thing that I haven't yet been able to test is to see if I have truly "fixed" anything with respect to macOS updates. The closest I got was removing an EFI partition, but that was from before Core Storage (Lion? Back when the old Disk Utility was still around.) That was the info I followed, basically. However, I think I should detail this, simply because there's basically nothing that Google showed me that fits this particular situation. I'm a little worried about detailing what I did here for fear that somebody might follow blindly and lose stuff. You become fairly emboldened, once you get to a place where you're thinking, "Well, if my HD gets erased, I'll just start from scratch and restore from backup - that'll get rid of the Recovery HD partition for sure." Plus, I have a Recovery flash drive that is custom for my rig, so a lot of bad can happen and I'm still going to recover pretty easily (if not quickly.) I seemed to come out the other end totally unscathed.
Since nobody was responding, I decided I would just find the best information I could (Google, Google, Google), make a good backup, and jump in head first. More importantly, everything I wanted to keep is not gone (phew!). I'm trying to remove disk0s3 (Recovery HD). Basically, disk0 with disk2 (core storage split it up like that).

Hopefully that will make future updates do the right thing with respect to the intermediate install boot.Ģ: Apple_CoreStorage Hackfish 2.0 TB disk0s2ģ: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3 However, now that I have a Recovery boot flash drive, I don't care about the Recovery partition. I'm not really looking for help on this anymore - seems I'm all alone on this issue. I've posted about this a couple (few?) times before. I don't know why it mostly fails to work (not enough room? could be any number of things). When it works, I see "Install macOS from Recovery HD." The installer wants to use my Recovery partition for it's intermediate, installation boot step. When it fails (pretty much always), it's because I don't see the "Install macOS from." option in the Clover GUI after the installer does it's first reboot. I have had a lot of trouble installing macOS updates.
