I’m having an issue with my Mac OS X installation. When I start up the system I see a circle with a line through it. I reboot into Recovery Mode by pressing Cmd-R and open Disk Utility. It shows the Macintosh HD partition (/dev/disk0s2) as being “unformatted”. I open Terminal, run fsck_hfs, and it says Macintosh HD is OK.
I can also successfully mount and unmount Macintosh HD with no signs of corruption. I have two questions.
Why does it have a circle with a line through it when I try to boot?
Why does it say unformatted when it clearly isn’t?
Edit 1:
I have MacOS High Sierra. Can’t update further. Not sure what version because I can’t get on to check.
diskutil list

/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.1 GB disk0

2: Apple_CoreStorage 448.3 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
4: Linux Filesystem 48.9 GB disk0s4
Edit 2: Oh my goodness! I completely forgot to say that I set up a dual boot of MacOS and Pop!_OS. That's what the Linux Filesystem is. I have opened GParted on Pop!_OS. This is what I see. It correctly Identifies /dev/sda2 (/dev/disk0s2) as HFS+. Disk Utility identifies it as CoreStorage for some reason.
