The following image shows my Disk Utility window.
It says there are 5 volumes in total, but I can only access two: Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD - Data. Apparently one of them is a Virtual Machine as denoted by the VM. Another one of them is Recovery, but I do not know what this means exactly. The final volume is not mounted; it does not even mount after I click the Mount button.
Is there a way possibly through terminal or Recovery mode in where I can access them and determine if they are useful or not? I am running macOS Catalina on my 2015 iMac if that helps.
Thank you in advance!
diskutil apfs list
and it will show you all the volumes. You really have no need to access any of them but every one of them is useful, likeboot
,Recovery
, etc.
