Recently I change my HDD 500GB by a SSD 500GB in Mac Mini
As I had a SSD 120 for boot the system I had a 620GB of Fussion Disk

As I know the new file system in Catalina (with 2 different volumes) I install Mojave macOS in the new 500GB SSD formatted as APFS and add the 120GB SSD as APFS new disk, so I have 2 disk, 1 with the system and another wmpty

What I want to do is ADD the 120 GB to the primary Volume" for getting a 640GB (preferably without erase nothing
One I get this logical volume I will update to Catalina macOS

I know how to do it with fussion drive commands CS but Im not sure if its compatible with APFS or if there is a better way

Code:
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

Is there any way for add the Volume disk3s1 at disk2s1 into the Container disk2?
