[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1908178, member: 396914"] Dave, I don't think Monterey is at fault here. You said in post # The only way the system ended up in the old Data volume was because at the installation time that volume was selected instead of at the higher level (Macintosh HD). What the system drive is actually named may not make much difference. You could have renamed the Volume at the time to "Of Course I Still Love You" (credit to Elon Musk) and the data volume would have been created as "Of Course I Still Love You - Data." So you installed the recovery to the old Data and the new Data-Data was created in the process. I think you will be fine in the long run, but the next time you have to do a major installation (upgrade, not update), I would fix it all by doing a full new install/restore on the iMac. [/QUOTE]
