- Open /Application/Utilities/Terminal.app
- We need to determine if the computer has a two internal disks ("Fusion drive") or a single internal disk (HDD/SSD). Type the following command:
diskutil list | grep "(internal, physical)"
Make note of the "disk" identifier(s) in the output, since we'll use that later. - If you see only one disk listed in the output, proceed to Step 4. If you see two disks listed in the output, proceed to Step 5.
- To re-partition a single disk, enter the below two commands, replacing "disk#" with the identifier from Step 2:
diskutil partitionDisk disk# jhfs+ "Macintosh HD" 100%
diskutil cs convert disk#s2- Proceed to Step 6.
To re-partition a Fusion drive, enter the below commands, replacing "disk#" with the identifiers from Step 2.
- On the first disk run:
diskutil partitionDisk disk# jhfs+ temp 100%
- On the second disk run:
diskutil partitionDisk disk# jhfs+ temp2 100%
- Join the two partitions together and enable CoreStorage, replacing BOTH "disk#" with each of the identifiers from Step 2:
diskutil cs create "Internal Disk" disk#s2 disk#s2
- Format the new volume:
diskutil cs createVolume "Internal Disk" jhfs+ "Macintosh HD" 100%
- Proceed to Step 6.
- On the first disk run:
- Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app and verify that the new drive shows up correctly.
- Click on the first item in the tree ("Internal Disk" or "Fusion Drive"), and then click the "Info" button.
- Look at the field labeled "Volume type". If it says "CoreStorage Logical Volume Group", then the procedure was completed successfully. Look at the graphic below for an example of a correctly-made CoreStorage LVG.
