There is no need to erase and reinstall. Read through the thread here and follow the suggestions by Barney:

And to be clear: You should have a Macintosh HD volume and one Macintosh HD - data volume. The first one contains the OS and all system files and the Data volume contains your User folder and all other files/data.
