Just doing some housekeeping on my mac.
I have a mojave install on a sata ssd (HS is my main system).

1.This may have always been like this, but if I look in disk utility, under the volume size it says ‘shared by 4 volumes’.......what does this actually mean?
2.Clicking the info button tells me it is ‘not bootable’, it is I have just booted to it.....!
3.In system profile, it only has a generic name i.e. disk###, everywhere else, desktop/finder/disk utility/techtool pro, it has the volume name.

This is just a bit wierd.........?

Could this have anything to do with when I created the Mojave system?
I originally ran the installer from my HS drive and selected the new drive to install to.

Orph: yes I have techtool pro 11 for any troubleshooting (which this really isn’t)
Crj: ah that makes sense now, as that’s the only drive in APFS format.

Don’t know why it says not bootable or the name thing in sys profile, but everything works normal.
Thanks guys
