I have a 2010 MacPro 5,1 that I have have a NVME Samsung 960 & a 1TB HDD configured as a fusion drive. it has been working great. well I just update to Mojave and after it did its thing for about Half an hour. it rebooted and couldn't find a bootable volume. I inserted a USB thumb drive that had the HS installer on it and ran the Disk Utility and I can see my Fusion drive it is there and seem to be intact with all of the data on it. However the Mojave installer seems to have converted it to APFS and now when I look t the properties of the volume where it says bootable ht field says "No"

what I can I do to make this bootable again. From everything I had read this is a completely supported configuration and APFS is supported on fusion drives now so I don't understand what the issue is.

Thank you for you help in advance.

Did you mod the firmware to allow native booting from NVMe?

If not, may be this is the way out.
