Re: Strange volume on desktop after installing Big Sur
Hello robert, yes, in Big Sur the boot partition is a read-only signed image that is merged with the data area. I believe the startup marker is indicating that you can boot from it, not that you have booted from it. if you erase this partition ( well, it is not really a partition) than you will lose Big Sur and probably your recovery partition.

Strange volume on desktop after installing Big Sur
Dear list, I hope some of you can help with this issue. I installed Big Sur on a second APFS Volume on Catalina. The install went well, but while in Catalina, there is a volume on the desktop called Update. If I boot into Big Sur there is Macintosh HD, and Big Sur volumes as it should be. I can even open the Mac HD to browse my Catalina files. But if booted into Catalina, there is no Big Sur volume on the desktop, Just Mac HD and Update volumes. I have searched but did not find a solution for this problem. In disk Utility the volume is called com.apple.os.update-35C699ADD439C653A3B09EBD8A30FBD366881244EB7C82207A2E135362FCCB7F I am scared to touch it because its labeled as Disk icon, badged as startup volume. Big Sur APFS System Snapshot • APFS I don’t know why its labeled as startup disk, when Catalina is my startup disk, even though it does not say so in disk utility.
