Hi Peter, What you are seeing in Keychain Access below is all rather normal.
Re: Disk Utility - High Sierra A standard macOS startup APFS container does contain additional volumes to the volume with macOS installed on it. You can list these with diskutil apfs list. The standard configuration of such a container is as follows: disk1s1, the volume you boot from, mounted at /, shown in Disk Utility as Macintosh HD disk1s2, ‘Preboot’, not mounted, hidden disk1s3, ‘Recovery’, not mounted, hidden disk1s4, ‘VM’, mounted at /private/var/vm, hidden The last 3 are grouped as Other Volumes in Disk Utility. They're required by macOS and shouldn't be removed.
