Fusion Drive: How do I manage which software is on the Flash portion?

Any idea how I can see which software Mountain Lion is placing on the Solid State portion of my Fusion drive? Can I manaually manage it, as they suggested?


From the link below, it is suggested that once I add a partition to my Fusion drive, the "plus" symbol in Disk Utility to add additional partitions will be grayed out. You cannot partition the Flash storage. When I go to my (Apple configured) drive in Disk Utility, there is NO plus sign next to my drive. I haven't attempted any partitions. Is it possible that my drive was not formatted properly from the factory?

You don't have any direct control over the allocation of data between the physical drives. It's automatic, based on your usage pattern. If you're not satisfied with that, Fusion Drive isn't right for you.
