Backup to an external drive using Time Machine. Then follow my instructions in posts #6 and #14 in this thread to reformat and rebuild the Fusion drive at full size. Then restore your Time Machine backup from the recovery screen.

Hi Weaselboy. Thank you. I don't use Time Machine (yet). I don't care for these files on the new computer (i have all my things on my external drive) i just want my full size back. Thanks for post i will check and let you know

Hi Weaselboy.
The first step is working ok #6 (split the disk in two part). But the second step for me was bad decison. Now i have Fusion Drive just 1,6 TB and i cant see all the 2,1TB space (original). What happend? I used the same codes as you mentioned in step #14. I think i have different diskutil list. Her is mine.
If someone know how to fix this please help. Thank you!

The 2TB drive still has two partitions on it and it looks like the Fusion is only using the 1.5TB one. After breaking up the Fusion drive open Disk Util and select the 2TB drive at the very top of the left column then go to the erase tab and format the entire disk back to one partition. Once you have that drive showing the full 2TB, then remake the Fusion and you should be all set.

If i understand you ill do it like this:

0. Internet Recovery Mode

1. Repat step #6

Code:
diskutil cs delete "Macintosh HD" or i need to change it in "Fusion" now?

2. Open Disk Utility and select 2TB drive and erase and format back to one partition

3. Pepeat step #14

Code:
diskutil cs create fusion disk0s2 disk1s2

Code (my nymbers):
diskutil cs createVolume DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 jhfs+ Fusion 100%


Is this correct? What is this disk 18 (internal, virtual) 1.6TB in diskutil list?

Thank you!

 

[Weaselboy]

Exactly... and yes since you named it Fusion that is what needs to be in that command.

That disk18 is the core storage (virtual) Fusion drive.

this step is not working :'(

1. Repat step #6

Code:
diskutil cs delete "Fusion"

 

[Weaselboy]

From your earlier screenshots there, it looks like it is lower case fusion and not Fusion. You don't need the quotes since it is one word.

What is the current result when you run diskutil list

 

[numericum]

Ok now is working

Code:
diskutil cs delete "fusion"


.. let's see the last step 3.

my diskutil list now after step 2. :
