Unable to create Bootcamp partition in High Sierra

Late 2015 5k iMac with 2TB Fusion Drive.

I am having the same issue others on this forum are having regarding creating a Bootcamp partition in High Sierra. I have read the post and followed suggestions (Including clean installation) with no success. In the process I think I have created an issue with my partitions as Disk Utility now only shows 1.8TB available. Here is my diskutil list and cs list. Any help would be appreciated!

Yes. Run


diskutil eraseDisk jhfs+ SSD diskSSD

diskutil eraseDisk jhfs+ HDD diskHDD

diskutil cs create macOS-LVG diskSSDs2 diskHDDs2

diskutil cs createVolume <TheLongStringFromPreviousCommand> jhfs+ "Macintosh HD" 100%


You need to find out the values of SSD and HDD using diskutil list command and substitute the numbers as appropriate.


Now you can restore the TM backup.
