Sorry if this has been covered and I missed it.

Has anyone seen this what I call a ghost disk in Disk Utility side bar?

 

I just noticed it in the latest Sequoia Beta.

As seen in the pic, it cannot be ejected for some unknown reason. it could be a Bug.

Specifically, I've also gotten this issue since 15.1 .. but, I ignore it.

Are you using OCLP on your system to regain WIFI function?

I don't use OCLP. It may be a bit unusual, but could the ghost disk occurring be related to the presence of a Windows disk in the system?

The "Creedence11M6270.SECUREPKITRUSTSTOREASSETS_SECUREPKITRUSTSTORE_Cryptex" disks on your Mac's desktop are disk images that may be related to encrypted data and key storage for authentication purposes or to ensure the security of sensitive data such as passwords, encryption keys, or certificates.

Creedence11M6270 may refer to your Mac machine ID or startup disk.

SECUREPKITRUSTSTOREASSETS indicates that this disk image is related to SecureKeyTrustStore, which stores certificates, keys, or other security-related assets. It may be part of Apple's security mechanisms such as Keychain or Secure Enclave, which may handle sensitive data.

SECUREPKITRUSTSTORE stands for PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Secure Key Trust Store. It is a storage container that includes assets such as security certificates or trust stores used by macOS to manage trusted certificates and secure connections.

Cryptex refers to Apple's Cryptex storage system (an encrypted container) that securely stores sensitive system data that is only accessible when needed.

 

 

Usually, "Creedence Cryptex" disk images are hidden on your Mac. They can only be visible under specific circumstances in Disk Utility.

 

In short, it seems to be a security-related feature of macOS that should not be visible to the user in either Disk Utility or Desktop. It is probably being displayed by a bug in Sequoia. This is also seen in Macs, not only Intel but also Silicon.

 

As a curious fact, some users have images that start with Revival instead of Creedence. What I have not found are images that start with Clearwater to fully recall the legendary American band 😂

I would still exclude Windows ( also because it is an APFS volume ) , by disabling its SSD from the Bios the "Creedence" continue to play  😆

Okay, then Sequoia install better with SMB SBM ( @deeveedee ) Disabled on no T2 models. Noted.

With iMac19,1 I don't have such issue but iMac20,1 is a better choice for your machine.

Dear friend, I think the most of us (probably all of us) appreciate you and see that you always try to help with the best intentions.

Don't make a big deal out of the way we sometimes write.

And yes, it may be that an "old brain" is better at deciphering certain typos than a younger one.

Don't forget that many of your IM friends are in your age range or very close to it. We are old and wise (I hope) 😂

SBM, SBM! 😂

I was channeling my inner Mr. Mom.  That might be an older reference that the younger ones need to google.

Oh how much I long to be correct, perfect and immaculate in everything I do or say so that I don't become the focal point of mirth for others.

One of the directives of the IM site is ........'We all here to have fun' is that what that means?

 

I think we've become conditioned by mainstream and social media to be over-sensitized to the point that some of us are actually looking for reasons to be offended, even when no offense was intended.  I find it best to give the benefit of the doubt and assume good intentions.
