mount
and df
show that disk1s5
is a mounted volume:
bash-3.2$ mount
/dev/disk1s4s1 on / (apfs, sealed, local, read-only, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
/dev/disk1s2 on /System/Volumes/Preboot (apfs, local, journaled, nobrowse)

So why doesn’t diskutil list
show it? I thought diskutil list
would always show all volumes, but it seems that certain mounted volumes are hidden.
