hi all. i cloned oclp monterey from sata hd 1 to an internal nvme using disc utility. (for backup reasons) sidenote: didnt manage to do that with S D or CCC. anway it works and is tested. ony drawback. the bootwindow shows me identical names. wich is kind of confusing. (start up manager actually does it right). the hd names are different as well. applying oclp again on either drive didnt change anyting.

i am looking for an easy way to make the nvme monterey show up as nvme monterey. so installing everything from scrap is out of the question, since it took me a week to set everything up. any help here?

Follow these steps to change the name of the nvme ssd:

  1. Open Terminal: You can do this by searching for "Terminal" in Spotlight or locating it in the "Utilities" folder within the "Applications" folder.
  2. Use the "diskutil" command to list your disks and find the identifier of your NVMe drive. Type the following command and press Enter:
    diskutil list
    Identify your NVMe drive from the list (e.g., /dev/disk1) based on its size and partition layout.
  3. Rename the NVMe drive: Use the following command to rename the NVMe drive (replace /dev/diskX with the identifier of your NVMe drive and "NewName" with the desired name):
    sudo diskutil rename /dev/diskX NewName

    You will be prompted to enter your password.


  4. After renaming, you may need to update the startup disk preferences to ensure the correct name appears in the boot menu. You can do this by going to "System Preferences" > "Startup Disk" and selecting the renamed NVMe drive as the startup disk.
This should change the name displayed during boot to match the name you specified. Make sure to choose the correct identifier and name to avoid any issues.
Hope it helps! Do it at your own risk though. In theory this should work.

nope…
Usage: diskutil rename[Volume] MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode newName

The new name is subject to file system-specific naming restrictions.

Ownership of the specified volume may be required.
