Apple has an article How to fix a split Fusion Drive - Apple Support. I prefer to run the commands by hand to ensure there are no issues.


Restart the Mac, into Internet Recovery, and use the following steps as a reference. Once in Terminal, we need to erase both internal physical disks. Booting in Recovery can renumber disks, so we need to be careful on the next steps. If you run diskutil list, you will see two internal drives. One is your 121GB SSD part, the second is your 1TB HDD part. I will call the SSD as disk0, and HDD as disk1. If they are different, adjust the steps accordingly.


Steps should be


  • Erase the SSD - diskutil eraseDisk jhfs+ SSD disk0
  • Erase the HDD - diskutil eraseDisk jhfs+ HDD disk1
  • Create the Fusion (CS) Volume Group - diskutil cs create macOS-LVG disk0s2 disk1s2 (please ensure the SSD is first).
  • The previous step will output a long string similar to, which I will use as an example.

    F5D64E6C-7796-48E9-955E-46429D58A9BF

  • Create the Fusion (CS) Volume - diskutil cs createVolume F5D64E6C-7796-48E9-955E-46429D58A9BF jhfs+ "Macintosh HD" 100% . The "100%" allocates the entire capacity of the two combined drives to "Macintosh HD".
  • Post the output of diskutil cs list, before we go further.

Command+Opt+R will start Internet Recovery, Command+R starts Local Recovery. If your Local Recovery is corrupted, it falls back to Internet Recovery.


See About macOS Recovery - Apple Support as a reference.


If you are seeing Internet Recovery, you may need to install macOS on en external disk, boot from it, and then disable SIP.


The other option is that we correct this in Internet Recovery using gap commands, which requires a bit more work. Can you post a text version of


diskutil list


You can run the command in Utilities -> Terminal, Select and Copy (Command+C) the output, quit Terminal, start Safari (Get Help Online), and Paste (Command+V) the output as a reply to this discussion.

Thanks, just before i did the whole new fusion drive thing, i tried the bootcamp one more time, and now i managed to bring the 557gb back to life, but the disk1 does look a bit messy!


What i did was boot from the usb disk that bootcamp created, and formatted the disk1 before windows installation, then quit installation(i wish i can continue)........boot back to apple mac osx, use disk management, the missing 557gb now is back, all i have to do is simply format the disk back to apple journal....here is the diskutil list looks like, bit messy, but it works.....i guess i will do the fusion rebuilt before i sell the imac in the future.....
