[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1871794, member: 396914"] Let me retract that comment. I was concerned that I couldn't see the Volume on which your own data is written. But I get it's there but the name is truncated. In Disk Utility you can see both Volumes on the Boot Drive. One is named "Macintosh HD" by default and the other is "Macintosh HD - Data." I suspect the rest of the names are just cut off by the column width. So, don't do anything, you are booted correctly. My bad. EDIT: BTW, the Finder and other system viewers show Macintosh HD as a "single" drive because they merge those two Volumes into one to make it look the same as it always has. However, the "Macintosh HD" volume is read only, and in Big Sur, even encrypted, to prevent any malicious software from messing with the system files. [/QUOTE]
