Fuse For Macos

Fusion Drive, a storage option on some iMac and Mac mini computers, combines a hard drive and flash storage in a single volume for improved performance and storage capacity. If your Fusion Drive appears as two drives instead of one in the Finder, it's no longer working as a Fusion Drive. This can happen after replacing either drive of your Fusion Drive, or using software to intentionally split them into separate volumes.

And Fuse for MacOS is pretty much the only implementation of it that works well. FUSE is central to so damn many cloud and file storage businesses and other creative things people do, people panic when they hear that he's gonna stop maintaining it, but somehow don't think it's important enough to maybe buy him a cuppa coffee each month to. FUSE for macOS remains open source, fork it if you want. Benjamin merely decided not to work on it for free anymore and essentially providing bug fixes etc for those who pay for it. Lastly - FUSE of macOS is not going to be around in the current form much longer.

Fuse for macOS This (very simple) page is the home for Fuse for macOS - a port of the UNIX ZX Spectrum emulator Fuseto macOS. The intention is that the emulator will be integrated into the macOS platform and over time take advantage of as many macOS features as make sense. The sourceforge project page for Fuse for macOS is here. In more technical terms, FUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on macOS. It provides multiple APIs, one of which is a superset of the FUSE API (file system in user space) that originated on Linux. On macOS, you can choose between VirtualC64 and VICE, the former being more Mac-like and the latter more flexible. And it's ably emulated with Fuse. You'll need to increase the virtual machine.

You can continue using the two drives independently, or follow these steps to regain the benefits of having the single logical volume of a Fusion Drive.

If you're not sure that your Mac was configured with a Fusion Drive, or that the drive has been split:

  1. Disconnect any external storage devices from your Mac.
  2. Choose Apple menu  > About This Mac, then click Storage.
    • If you see a drive labeled Fusion Drive, your Fusion Drive is working and this article doesn't apply to you.
    • If you have a Fusion Drive that has been split, you should see two drives. One of them should be labeled Flash Storage, with a capacity of 24GB, 32GB, or 128GB. The other should be at least 1TB.

Use Terminal to create a Fusion Drive again

These steps permanently delete all data stored on the drives that make up your Fusion Drive. Make sure that you have a backup before continuing.

If you're using macOS Mojave or later

  2. When you see the macOS Utilities window, choose Utilities > Terminal from the menu bar.
  3. Type diskutil resetFusion in the Terminal window, then press Return.
  4. Type Yes (with a capital Y) when prompted, then press Return.
  5. When Terminal indicates that the operation was successful, quit Terminal to return to the macOS Utilities window.

If you're using macOS High Sierra or earlier

Fuse For Macos Core

  1. Turn on your Mac, then immediately press and hold Command-R to start up from macOS Recovery. Release the keys you see the Apple logo or spinning globe.
  2. When you see the macOS Utilities window, choose Utilities > Terminal from the menu bar.
  3. Type diskutil list in the Terminal window, then press Return.
  4. Terminal displays a table of data about your drives. In the IDENTIFIER column, find the identifier for each of the two internal, physical drives that make up your Fusion Drive. Usually the identifiers are disk0 and disk1. One of them should be 128GB or less in size. The other at least 1TB in size.
  5. Type the following command, replacing identifier1 and identifier2 with the identifiers you found in the previous step. Then press Return.

    Example: diskutil cs create Macintosh HD disk0 disk1

  6. If you get a disk unmounting error, enter diskutil unmountDisk identifier, using the first identifier you gathered previously. Then enter same command again using the second identifier. Then retry the command in step 5.
  7. Type diskutil cs list, then press Return.
  8. Terminal displays additional data about your drives (volumes). Find the string of numbers that appears after ”Logical Volume Group” for the volume named Macintosh HD. It's a number like 8354AFC3-BF97-4589-A407-25453FD2815A.
    Example:
    +-- Logical Volume Group 8354AFC3-BF97-4589-A407-25453FD2815A
    |
    | Name: Macintosh HD
  9. Type the following command, replacing logicalvolumegroup with the number you found in the previous step. Then press Return.

    Example: diskutil cs createVolume 8354AFC3-BF97-4589-A407-25453FD2815A jhfs+ Macintosh HD 100%

  10. When Terminal indicates that the operation was successful, quit Terminal to return to the macOS Utilities window.
  11. Choose Reinstall macOS, then follow the onscreen instructions to reinstall the Mac operating system. Your Mac restarts from your Fusion Drive when done.
