bootcamp unable to create partition

Trying to create a windows dual boot setup but every time I run boot camp assistant I just get an "unable to partition the drive message" and to run disk utility, but disk utility reports no errors.

I'm running Mojave 10.14.5 on a late 2012 iMac 27. I downloaded the boot camp assistant update as stated here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468 but that doesn't fix it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been running through other threads and trying all the suggestions to no avail.

So far I have disabled Time Machine and ejected my Time machine drive, and just tried rebooting to single user mode and run fsck_apfs -s -o -y /dev/rdisk1 which reported no errors and the drive was OK.


I do have a 1TB fusion drive which appears to be the issue from what I'm reading.


Again, any help is gratefully appreciated.
