In continuation of another post above a bootcamp disk problem, i ask to now how to crate a Bootcamp partition on a 3To. Fusion drive using command on terminal like:
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk1
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk1
The end of the first thread:
Can't format former Boot Camp partition
Thanks.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Sorry, did not get a chance to post on this before.
There are two options,
1. Use diskutil cs resizeStack, or,
2. Re-install Yosemite by using the steps from the previous thread, but this time create a Bootcamp-suitable volume also.

The first option look like the most simple, i vote for it.
I juste want 200 or 250 Go for Windows to play, that's all, nothing more.
Please let me know if you see any error messages.
diskutil cs resizeStack 7D2AB070-B558-4788-BD0F-ECD835245C2C 3DDE5754-7274-4D58-AED2-EF28CC6A28AF 2200g fat32 BOOTCAMP 300g jhfs+ OSX-Remainder 1900g
Here is the syntax/help and you can see what is being done.
part1Format = fat32
part1Name = BOOTCAMP
part1Size = 300g
part2Format = jhfs+
part2Name = OSX-Remainder
part2size = 1900g
lvUUID = 7D2AB070-B558-4788-BD0F-ECD835245C2C (This is "Macintosh HD")
pvUUID = 3DDE5754-7274-4D58-AED2-EF28CC6A28AF (This is disk1s2)
Usage: diskutil coreStorage resizeStack
lvUUID|MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode [pvUUID] size
[part1Format part1Name part1Size part2Format part2Name part2Size
part3Format part3Name part3Size ...]
Resize both a logical volume and one of its underlying physical volumes in a
single operation. A single physical volume is always chosen for the underlying
shrink or grow, even if the logical volume's logical volume group is backed by
more than one physical volume. If you do not specify a particular physical
volume, then one is chosen for you. Note that if this is a grow operation,
this verb is limited by the physical volume's partition's room to grow.
Specifying zero as the size asks for an "automatic" grow-to-fill operation.
If this is a shrink operation, you can optionally request that new partitions
be created in the newly-formed free space gap in the partition map.
Again, note that this only resizes one of the underlying physical volumes; if
you need more sophistication in managing your topology, you should use the
separate physical and logical volume resize verbs.
Example: diskutil coreStorage resizeStack
11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555 10g JHFS+ New 1g
Can it be more simple to buy a USB3 disk and install Windows on it, if it's possible?
External USB drives cannot be used to install Windows due to Windows licensing restrictions.
It's complicated because i dont understand clearly what you want me to do, i dont understand why only 1900 Go for the OSX disk, why i have to format it (do i have to lost everything again?!), why i dont understand better your explanations (My english show its limits) and why the BootCamp program doesn't work normally with a 3 To Fusion drive? This disk sale out two years ago, i really dont understand. 😢
1. You have a two-disk logical volume with the SSD and HDD.
2. The resizeStack command does not change the SSD at all. The pvUUID I have used is disk1s2, which is a part of your HDD. The goal is to recreate a disk1s3 of 300G which will be your BC Windows partition, an fit is being formatted as FAT. The Windows installer will reformat it to NTFS during the installation process.
3. The command is resizing the disk1s2 part into two parts, a Bootcamp 300G partition and a remainder part which is 1900G out of the disk1s2 slice which is 2.2TB right now.
4. The order specified in the command puts the 300g partition at the beginning of the 2.2TB disk1s2 to allow FAT to address the 300G partition.
5. This will provide the partitions, but the Hybrid MBR still needs to be created.
6. BCA messed up when it did not create disk1s3 and disk1s4. You can see these are missing in your diskutil output.
Ok thanks, i understand better now (still dont understand why BootCamp was not updated).
Still dont understand the space of the different disk but ok, i dont try any more.
So, i just have to enter :
diskutil cs resizeStack 7D2AB070-B558-4788-BD0F-ECD835245C2C3DDE5754-7274-4D58-AED2-EF28CC6A28AF 2200g fat32 BOOTCAMP 250g jhfs+ OSX-Remainder 1950g
I change for 250 Gigas for Windows, i quite a lot for what i'am doing whit it.
I dont lost anything of my OS X partition doing this?
I am working tonight with the Mac, i try this tomorrow if your ok.
Dont understand this:
"5. This will provide the partitions, but the Hybrid MBR still needs to be created."
Sorry for my thin patience, i quit cigarettes four day ago and i am very bad today. 😝
1. Bootcamp failed because it requires a FAT partition which needs to reside within the first 2TB of the disk blocks, but it did not create disk1s3/disk1s4 in correct locations.
2. Part1 will be the first 250GB right after the EFI entry on your HDD.
3. The OSX partition should be untouched.
4. You can try it when you have time and want to work on this.
Bootcamp uses GPT for OSX and MBR for Windows. The output of Fdisk needs to created after the disk are partitioned. Here is an example
GPT is
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
Password:
gpt show: /dev/disk0: mediasize=1000555581440; sectorsize=512; blocks=1954210120
gpt show: /dev/disk0: Suspicious MBR at sector 0

I do not want you to go back to 'bad' cigarettes. 😉. I can wait till you are ready.
Hello Man,
Make me a sign when you are here, so i do step by step what you say about the bootcamp partition.
I am going to be in and out today. Is it all right to work on this tomorrow morning or later this afternoon (if it is not too late for you)?
Ok no problem, we see that tomorrow.
Have a good day.
Post back when you are ready. 😉
Ok, i'am here. 😉
So, i just have to enter :
diskutil cs resizeStack 7D2AB070-B558-4788-BD0F-ECD835245C2C3DDE5754-7274-4D58-AED2-EF28CC6A28AF 2200g fat32 BOOTCAMP 250g jhfs+ OSX-Remainder 1950g
Try this command.
