APFS and Fusion drives

[mimizone]

Hi all.

So far, I have installed the beta version of High Sierra on a Fusion drive SSD+Hard drive on my Mini.
It works ok. Not amazed by performance, but not sure I can blame only APFS+Fusion.

My question is, knowing that Apple officially removed the support for Fusion drive in APFS in the next release of High sierra, I wonder what's gonna happen when I upgrade.

Anybody already went through the process?

Is it just gonna be a painfully long upgrade but working, or simply a "No can't do-reinstall from your time machine" message?

I think you will have to erase and reinstall.

Here is Apples recommendation for preparing a fusion drive from the beta program to install High Sierra:
