HIGH SIERRA- The only drive that is automatically converted to APFS when installing High Sierra is the boot drive IF and only IF it is a Solid State Drive. (A Fusion Drive is NOT a solid state drive even through there is a solid state component.)
- APFS is not supported on Fusion drives in High Sierra
- I have encountered no problems cloning an APFS volume using CCC 5.1.2 or its predecessor.
- To the best of my knowledge the only Volume repair utility currently available for an APFS volume is Apple's Disk Utility > First Aid.
MOJAVE- In Mojave APFS on Fusion Drives will be supported, but whether or not that conversion for the boot drive will be automatic is TBD.
- Whether or not Time Machine will be supported on an APFS volume is TBD.
- Whether or not APFS will be supported on RAID arrays is TBD.
- If and when Diskwarrior, Drive Genius, and TechTool Pro will support volume repair on APFS volumes is TBD.
