Can`t boot from recovery partition after a DIY fusion drive

[Marco Fierro]

Hi everyone!

Recently I replaced the optical drive on my mid 2012 13" MBP for a 256 Gb SAMSUNG SSD.

I was able to successfuly configure a Fusion Drive using the SSD and the internal HDD (750 Gb), as shown below:

MacBook-Pro:~ marco$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAM SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *256.1 GB disk0
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_CoreStorage 255.7 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Boot OS X 134.2 MB disk0s3
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *750.2 GB disk1
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1
2: Apple_CoreStorage 748.8 GB disk1s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk1s3
/dev/disk2
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: Apple_HFS Marco's MBP *997.9 GB disk2
Logical Volume on disk0s2, disk1s2
4819CB5E-32D2-42F6-89DE-456790BA3F47
Unencrypted Fusion Drive

However, now I can`t boot into Recovery partition. When I press command-R and option-command-R. during startup now I get the Internet Recovery, instead of booting from the Recovery Partition. And, when I press control-option-R during startup now I get my "Marco's MBP" shown twice, and no Recovery partition. I've also reinstalled Yosemite to no avail.

Anybody has a clue about how is it happening?

Thanks in advance!

Try Command + R

Try Command + R

Sorry ... My mistake.

Where I wrote control-R and option-control-R, please read as command-R and option-command-R.

Sorry again.

OP, in the future, you can re-edit your post to correct any mistakes such as control-r vs command r. I took the liberty of editing so no one else mistakes what you meant.
