Integrated the suggestion provided by David Anderson to add a "Macintosh HD" volume. Improved answer.

| Jun 8, 2023 at 17:53 | comment | added | OuzoPower | Thank you David, you're the king! Two nights ago, I also had the inspiration that the Mac could be expecting some "Macintosh HD" 'label' to see the fusion drive. So, although the Mac I already had split the fusion and installed the OS on the SSD, I decided to build the fusion drive again. After booting the SSD was disk1 and the HDD disk 0 for this time, so I decided to explicitely specify '-main' and '-secondary', to ensure the SSD comes as main. It was not working if specifying "Macintosh HD" after the two disks. So, I used the second alternative you mentioned. And the install works! | |

Why not use diskutil ap create disk0s2 disk1s2 "Macintosh HD" in place of diskutil ap createContainer disk0s2 disk1s2? Or, use diskutil ap addVolume disk3 APFS "Macintosh HD" after entering diskutil ap createContainer disk0s2 disk1s2?
