Seems a problem with Fusion Drives...


-69716 System verify Storage Repair failed…

on an iMac (late 2012) with a 1TB Fusion Drive.

anyway, long story short... needed to recreate the fusion drive from the recovery terminal (after Backup, of course). After recreation, installation worked fine.

This is definitely a Fusion hardware issue. I think that the drive is bad and needs to be replaced.
