How to setup Fusion Drive on existing Optibay combo

[ratboy90]

So currently I have my users folder on my optibay and my ssd is running my OS and apps. Now I want to setup Fusion Drive. Can I do this without losing any data? And how do I go about it?

this makes me wipe and repartition my drives doesn't it? Is there any way around that bc I don't have an external big enough to store everything?

Always have a backup. Else your data can't be that important to you.

Ya I just set this up yesterday on my iMac, the only way is to completely wipe you drives.

Yes. Get a TM drive, backup and the start from scratch. even if you could do it the other way, it's good to take a clean start on these types of upgrades anyway.

For those of you who've done it, the rest of us are reading (on other threads) that you must have the updated diskutil from a mid-2012 MacMini or the new iMac for the FUD to actually work. This true?
