How big partition for mac osx upgrade#

I did my initial client installations of macOS 11 using the Beta 6 (build 20A5364e) 'Install macOS Big Sur Beta' app. I assume macOS 11 has changed how the recovery partition works, and Fusion hasn't yet caught up with these changes. If you dont have a Fusion Drive on your Mac, (you only have one drive, or if you have more than one drive, they are not fombined into one larger logical drive, then you should be able. So I know this isn't a bug in macOS 11 itself, or not only a bug in macOS 11. If your Mac has an Apple Fusion Drive (an SSD and an HDD 'fused' together to make one large volume) then you can not access the Mac volume from within Windows. Cmd-R does boot into the recovery partition when used from a macOS 11 beta installation on actual hardware. This bug happens with both kinds of client.

I've installed macOS 11 beta clients both as an upgrade from macOS 10.15.7 and directly (by dragging the 'Install macOS Big Sur Beta' app onto the 'Select the Installation Method' window). I'm sure I can't be the only one who's seen this, but so far I haven't seen any bug reports. Ive installed macOS 11 beta clients both as an upgrade from macOS 10.15.7 and directly (by dragging the 'Install macOS Big Sur Beta' app onto the 'Select the Installation Method' window). When I let the keys go, I get a 'normal' boot. But then I see a series of aborted attempts to launch the recovery app that lasts as long as I hold the Cmd-R keys. I follow the standard procedure (press Cmd-R as the virtual machine is restarting). But in none of them have I ever been able to boot into the recovery partition. I've installed macOS 11 beta clients on a VMware Fusion 12.0.0 host (running on the latest macOS 10.15.7) in a couple of different ways.
