Should I wait until APFS works with fusion drives before I update to High Sierra?

I'm on HS right now, 10.13 actually. I restored from a Carbon Copy Cloner backup to a FusionDrive. Now, when I want to update to the newest version, the installer (updater, isntaller whatever) is always pointing me to the same article. So the only solution for me is to do a backup to CCC, convert my fusiondrive to HFS+, restore from CCC backup, update, backup the 10.13.2 drive again to CCC, reformat the fusiondrive to APFS and then restore back to that drive from CCC backup. There is no way for me to "live update" the HS installation on my FusionDrive because of APFS. That is why I'm asking how did you do that 🙂

Is there any reason to upgrade to High Sierra now…?

That depends on whether you feel the other new features are desirable. The lack of APFS support for Fusion drives shouldn't enter into the decision as APFS offers very little at this time.

Is there any reason to think that if I update now it will cause problems when the fusion drive support comes in a later upgrade?

I don't know who would have any accurate answer to that question.

Probably no more problems than happened to those that had SSDs that were converted.

Hi, how do you upgrade? I dont get an update on the App Store app and when I want to update via the combo update dmg, the installer says that I cannot install this update and links me to the official apple instructions on how to downgrade APFS beta isntalls on Fusion drives to HFS+, please advise, thanks!

If you have an APFS Fusion drive, you must erase it completely, rebuild the Fusion drive, then install the OS.

APFS Fusion drives are not supported in the release version of High Sierra.

You will need to boot into Internet Recovery in order to erase the drive and rebuild it.

Once that is done, you can install High Sierra, either through IR installing the original shipping OS then upgrade, or by using a Bootable USB installer.

During the Setup Assistant, Migrate from your Time Machine backup.

Yes, I know this 🙂 I was just wondering if there is a way to "force" the update on a running HS APFS Fusiondrive system Guess I will need to wait for the update or roll back to HFS+ if I want to run an updated system :/

I have High Sierra installed on two iMacs with Fusion drives. There's no real reason to wait.

As Barney stated, there's no predicting the future.

Hi, how do you upgrade?

You go to the Mac App Store (Apple Menu) and find the High Sierra installer. Download and run that.

I doubt it.
