Drives got "renamed" ????

[Mannheim62]

I opened Disk Utility to erase a flash drive and found this. I immediately ran "First Aid" on both volumes and they came back good (Green check mark). Needless to say I didn't insert the flash drive ... Other than this issue, my iMac is running fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Mike

Catalina creates a "Container disk1" and then installs two volumes in that "Container".

The first volume should be named: "Macintosh HD" and is read only. It has your system files and access is restricted to read only.

The second volume is named "Macintosh HD Data" and has your home user folder including apps and documents. You have read - write access to that volume.

Okay...The name of the first volume is missing and it appears the overall naming scheme is messed up.

It looks like you accidentally renamed your internal drive to”’”. Does that disk name also show in Finder? If so, you can rename it back to “Macintosh HD”.

Thank you for your reply. I did a secondary click and noticed the "Rename" option. Can I safely rename it to "Macintosh HD"?

Hi Bob,

Yes the disk shows up in finder. I did rename it to "Macintosh HD" then the second volume renamed itself to "Macintosh HD - Data".
