high sierra shows two os hard drives in my finder panel

[FatLip]

Hi

today i restarted my macbook pro retina i7 babe and noticed two "Mac0sx HD' or main "OS drive"(s) in my finder panel, i tried to open the actual icon on the desktop and got an error

Said: The folder “Mac0sx HD” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.

strange

So i ran disk utility several times yet nothing changed, i have no clue what changed between the time i went to sleep and got up the ext day... does anyone know about this?

Thanks!

You’ll likely want to aak this question on the MacOS forums. You’re in the iOS 11 forums presently

You can also in Finder hit Go/Go to Folder and enter /Volumes to see the list of disks that Finder thinks are mounted. You can try clicking on the icon there. Also try right clicking and hitting "get info".

For more information in terminal enter:

cd /Volumes
ls -l

Check to see you have permissions to access the drive.

If drives for some reason aren't correctly dismounted they can leave folders that causes confusing duplicates.
