System: 2015 MBP, macOS 10.12.3, Filevault 2 disabled
I am trying to decide if I should revert core storage. I do not understand why Apple has core storage enabled on all newer Macs.
Is there any reason not to revert the core storage?
If I revert core storage, what happens if I want to enable Filevault later?
Here is information I have found during internet research:
Core Storage is a logical volume management system on macOS originally important for creating fusion drives (available since 10.7).
Core Storage should not be disabled if:
File Vault 2 is enabled.
Using a Fusion drive.
How to disable (revert) core storage. Did I miss anything?:
Run these 2 commands in terminal.
diskutil cs list
diskutil coreStorage revert lvUUID
where lvUUID is the last lvUUID reported by the previous Terminal command.
