it takes around 20mins and somehow the HDD randomly pops into the finder. Now whenever I connect the HDD back, it shows up in the disk utility but not in finder and I am unable to mount it so I just wait. I get this notification saying that the device was not ejected properly and that's okay I did it on purpose. I have a seagate external 2TB backup disk plugged into my laptop now lets say I pull it out without pressing the eject button. I've been using my 2017 MacBook Pro for some time now but there is an issue I am facing with my external hard drive. Can I delete the generic volume without deleting my Time Machine volume (and the backups)? What has caused this "duplication" of volumes? Again this is not just a Finder bug because both volumes appear in Disk Utility as well. The file is also NOT visible in the Time Machine volume "Bach", and the TM backups are not visible in the generic volume. It copied successfully and is visible in the Finder. Somewhere the machine thinks that I have 3 external volumes - a generic volume "Escher" (1.5TB), a generic volume "Bach" (1.5TB), and a Time Machine volume "Bach" (1.5TB).Īs a test, I created a 10MB test file (using TextEdit) and saved it to the generic volume "Bach". One is a 1.5TB Time Machine Backup disk (appears with Time Machine volume icon on desktop), and a second 1.5TB generic external disk. Problem: I have two images of the backup disk ("Bach") appearing on my desktop and in Disk Utility. Container Disk 6 ("Bach") is the 1.5TB APFS used for Time Machine backups. Container Disk 5 ("Escher") is a 1.5TB APFS disk for storing historical files which I refer to only infrequently. After upgrading to Big Sur, I reformatted the external disk into 2 volumes, both APFS. I also have a 3TB external hard disk connected by USB. Disk appears twice in big sur Mac mini (M1), 16GB RAM, 1TB HD, Big Sur 11.2.2.
