27" iMac Intel Core i7, OS Catalina v10.15.7 not shutting down.
It shows 2 separate HD's - the fusion drive seems to be split.
Followed Apples instructions to Reset in Terminal:
diskutil resetFusion / Return / "Yes" / Return.
It tells me it is an invalid command.
Then it won't shut down and I have to push and hold
the iMac power button to shut it down.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi again,
Only the Macintosh HD APFS 3.12 TB is shown in the Finder sidebar with the Applications, Library, System and Users folders.
However 2 HD's are shown on the desktop - Macintosh HD APFS 3.12 TB + and Macintosh HD * Data APFS 3.12 TB.
Does this mean that the Fusion drive is split?
No, not at all. The HD volume is where the system is installed, the HD - Data volume is where your user data and any apps you install are stored. I don't remember a way to change the two into one icon but it doesn't hurt anything for there to be two. If it bothers you, you can disable Hard Disks from Finder > Preferences > General.

You're welcome.
Two things, you have to be in Recovery Mode, and the other is, it will erase the data on your drive, as explained on the link. So you better have a Time Machine or other backup.
BTW, Are you certain it's split? Are you seeing two drives in the Finder sidebar? One of which would be 128GB or smaller in size?

Not sure where you found the command you tried to use but the correct Terminal command for High Sierra and later is…
diskutil resetFusion
Sorry. I just realized you were typing in your responses after typing in the command. I haven't had my coffee yet.
Hi,
Sorry, I made a typing error.
Yes, I did enter "diskrutil resetFusion", but it still doesn't work.
Thanks
