Q: More boot camp problems new 5k imac 3 tera fusion drive

there seems to be problems with Yosemite and boot camp assistant


i'm cross posting this to the iMac forum but I spent hours online with apple tech today and none of the several foks I talked to there had even seen a 5k 27" yet and my call back from Cupertino and engineering is no till tomorrow so I thought I should post here too

MMy bto 5k shipped from China sunday night and arrived in Maine this morning.... Amazing when you think about it for a bto

iinstallation and set up we're going fine and I started up boot camp assistant to create  a temp boot camp while I wait for my thunder bay 4 box to take the drives for my old Mac pro when boot camp will have a1 tera SSD all to itself....

so carved off a 700 gig boot camp partition which the assistant formatted fat I then plugged is the lighting to FW adapter in a LaCie 2 tera fw 800 drive to act as a bridge to my LaCie DVD burner which uses the old fw400 cables and inserted my new shrink wrap win 8.1 retail 64 DVD and up comes the win 8 install in very tiny type in a tiny window which got a bit of a laugh out of me.

 

And I go through it to the point of selecting that boot camp partition and then said it could not use a fat partition and I should reformat it from the win 8.1 installer which I did and then it said it could not use and unknown partition so I said great and booted back to 10-10 and the boot camp tool to put things back and it said it could not I then went to disk tools and it also said the  3tera fusion could not be either reformatted or put back to a single partition I was on with tech support where I went up through 4 levels of support due to the 5k bto which most had no knowledge of. We tried the optioncommand r to get to DT and the same problem as did going to reinstall from the net which after a 30 min down load could not reformat either it is now kicked to Cupertino with a call back tomorrow

 

( At this point all I want to do is put the computer back in the condition it was in when i started with a plain Yosemite on an unpartitioned 3 tera fusion... Then deal with boot camp when it can have its own drive)

am betting it will take a Unix comand line to reformat but be aware there may be boot camp issues with my configuration

and  any help here will be great fully received

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

In one word - "Yosemite".

    Fantastic work, W. If you notice the 3TB disk is no longer part of the CS volume as shown by the cs list output.

     

    Please run Disk Utility, and "Ignore" Fix, partition the 3TB disk as 600Gb Free Space in the first partition, and remainder as Mac os extended journaled.

    Let us add the 2.4TB back to the CS volume...

     

    diskutil cs addDisk 153ED13B-3675-40D1-9469-2E1A3B4167EC disk2s2

     

    Check the CS volume again...

     

    diskutil cs list

     

    Here is the syntax for addDisk..

     

    diskutil cs addDisk

    Usage:  diskutil coreStorage addDisk lvgUUID NewMemberDeviceName

    Add a new physical volume to a CoreStorage logical volume group.

    Ownership of the affected disks is required.

    Example: diskutil coreStorage addDisk

             11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555 disk4s2

    No, you did not. If diskutil cs list still shows "Checking" the way it was showing it earlier (from this snippet from your post), wait till it shows the LVG online. Apple needs to speed up removal/addition of disks better. If you and I are on a forum discussing, and this is still working, it is way too slow. . Not going to fly in the real world.

    Let this come back, when it can. Since you have the 600GB carved out, do you want to try your Windows EFI installation on the Free Space?

    I Had same issue  but more serious.. On giving up on installing windows I restarted machine and on first restarts I got the 'no go of death' on all 3 partitions all labeled Macintosh HD. Then on instructions of technical support I zapped pram and tried to do Internet recover. At that stage it was apparent that I no longer had any disk access on any drive.

     

    the machine was fried. And has now been returned as a dos.

     

    after wasting 2 days transferring from old machine -  thankfully I have a backup on time machine

     

    DaNger. Do not attempt to use boot camp on 3tb fusion drive it can fry your disk controller

     

    tried all zap and restart combos even a sub recovery disk but nothing would boot after tenth restart. Now have £2500 dead paperweight.
