fusion drive doesn't work without recovery hd

Hello everyone.



Working in business, security of data access is very important. To limit the possibility of intrusion, we remove Recovery HD from hard drives. Is it possible to do it on iMacs with Fusion Drive?



Thanks for your responses.

Finally, I found the solution :


External system boot and Terminal comand-line used


1 - destroy the original Fusion drive logical Group

2 - create one Logical Group without any partition

3 - create my own partitions (the first one is created exclusively on SSD part of Fusion Drive, the second - on internal HDD)

4 - install of my System Master in the first partition created


it works correctly without any Recovery HD
