no container info found for disk with id disk2s1

[dlondon]

I'm seeing a repeated entry in the jamf.log on client machines.

"no container info found for disk with id disk2s1"

I have wiped the disk and then reinstalled the OS - maybe the cause?

Anyone shed any light on this?

I've also seen and pondered this log.

Out of curiosity, how are you wiping before install? Are you viewing all devices then erasing from disk0 (eg. Apple SSD..) removing all volumes / partitions?

[dlondon]

Yes - I remove all volumes with the disk utility and then erase the disk that's left as it lets me name the disk Macintosh HD

[Bol]

Yes, that's what I had been doing also.

I've started leaning towards just pressing erase to the initial disk or running "resetpassword" in terminal and using the supplied "erase disk" prompt.

I wonder if either of those will change this, I will test today and see.

I think the answer is here ... I feel a bit foolish  - it's the install thumb drive stuck in the back of the test Mac
