Will restoring split fusion drives wipe my entire mac or just the drive in question I got a 2013 iMac from a friend of mine. He split the fusion drive for some reason and I would like to restore the drive as I read it could help with performance. When I follow Apple's tutorial on how to do so it says it'll only wipe the drive in question. However when I run the diskutil resetFusion command it says it'll wipe all the drives above so I'm not really sure which one it is now. Is it safe to run the command? The split fusion drive is empty
