I have a macOS/Windows-bootable Mac Pro. Two internal HDDs form a mirror disk formatted in ReFS. How do I prevent macOS Sequoia from nagging me to initialize/eject/ignore those two HDDs each time I start up the machine under macOS?
I understand I can do that by adding the
/etc/fstab
file in the following format:
=F21AD81B-B114-456C-B2A0-BF4452E4842D none auto rw,noauto
However, I cannot find the volume UUIDs of those two **unmounted** HDDs in Sequoia. (Disk Utility only shows the volume UUID of mounted disks.) Here is what info
gives me on one of those two HDDs:
``` Device Identifier: disk7
