So I know this is a kinda old issue but just ran into this issue as well. Looks to be because of the way diskutil reads the drives from MacOS.
When I run the diskutil list
i get 3 total drives, one being marked as (internal, physical). Which seems to be the right one, and then a second one marked (synthesized), which seems to be something that occurs because of the APFS filesystem.
It was introduced in macOS 10.12.4
Here is the output
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.3 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 314.6 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 500.0 GB disk0s2
/dev/disk1 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +500.0 GB disk1
Physical Store disk0s2
1: APFS Volume Macintosh HD - Data 458.4 GB disk1s1
2: APFS Volume Preboot 476.1 MB disk1s2
3: APFS Volume Recovery 1.1 GB disk1s3
4: APFS Volume VM 3.2 GB disk1s4
5: APFS Volume Macintosh HD 15.7 GB disk1s5
6: APFS Snapshot com.apple.os.update-... 15.7 GB disk1s5s1
/dev/disk2 (disk image):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme +838.9 MB disk2
1: Apple_HFS FontForge 838.8 MB disk2s1
I will try and look into if its possible to see from diskutil list -plist
which one is the right one
Hi @rareinator and @Migulon! sorry for the delay in looking into this, and thank you @rareinator for providing some hints as to why this is happening on MacOS. I don't have a Mac handy at this point to experiment with, unfortunately, which is part of the reason why Mac support in ghw is so much behind Linux and Windows.
Hi, @jaypipes yeah no worries 😃 I looked into it a bit last night and from what I could gather it seems that the -plist option returns the APFS scheme with a key called APFSPhysicalStores. If you need anything else from me you can always reach out, I can also upload the entire output on Pastebin or something😃
It's doubled. Strange. For block storage.
