# To use this, first create a corestorage drive - see e.g. http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-make-a-custom-corestorage-drive-in-os-x/
# -- it'll look something like this:
#
#    diskutil list        # and figure out which actual drives you want to join
#    diskutil cs create FusionGroup disk0 disk2  # or whichever two drives
#    diskutil cs list     # and note the Logical Volume Group ID 
#    diskutil cs createVolume GROUPID jhfs+ Fused 100%
