diskutil list shows 20 disk partitions, I only know 3, what are the rest?
Following the post FFFFFFFF problem with hybrid partitioned drive, not able to fix with the guide in other topics, diskutil list gives me the following big list of disk partitions, what are the /dev/disk3 to /dev/disk20, can I delete them, and how?
-bash-3.2# diskutil list /dev/disk0 (internal, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *251.0 GB disk0 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1 2: FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF 217.0 GB disk0s2 3: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 33.8 GB disk0s3
/dev/disk2 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme +2.1 GB disk2 1: Apple_HFS OS X Base System 2.0 GB disk2s1
/dev/disk3 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +5.2 MB disk3
/dev/disk4 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +524.3 KB disk4
/dev/disk5 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +524.3 KB disk5
/dev/disk6 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: untitled +524.3 KB disk6
別人的回覆如下 I presume you’re running diskutil list from the Recovery environment. These disks are not real disks, shown by the ‘disk image’ phrase appended to the name of the disk. They are used to support Recovery as temporary read/write areas separate from the main HD.
Just boot back to a normal OS installation and running diskutil list will not show these disks as they are not necessary for normal functioning in a fully booted macOS.
