Q: Do I need CoreStorage for Fusion Drive with APFS?
Hello Community,
Currently I'm not upgrade to sierra yet because I have some question about Core Storage and the new Apple File System.
Can I use the new Apple File System to create a CoreStorage that I need for Fusion Drive?
If it so, is anyone that give me some instructions how to create it?
I have create an USB Installer and want to delete the system drive because I want to make a clean install.
Further question is, can I use APFS to create a Time Machine drive?
Many thanks for your help,
