I returned the MBP to Costco yesterday and took the opportunity to look at the install log of the MBP on display.

The data they are viewing is showing the MacBook Pro operating as expected”, so I continue to look for a solution. The information doesn’t show anything mounted incorrectly. to the engineers at Apple Support, they continue to claim “this is expected behavior. After a month of sending logs, pictures, etc. I recently discovered the following information which demonstrates that this problem exists /Volumes/macOS Base System being copied/moved to /Volumes/System/Volumes/macOS Base System/ because Volumes/macOS Base System/(and associated files) do not exist.

Please note, reinstallation of macOS from recovery, internet recovery or a USB installer does not copy or move macOS Base System from /System/Volumes/Data back to /Volumes. The following information is from a recent install log of macOS Sierra, which I have included because “using product at distance 5” began here. This problem has occurred on the previous eight MBA’s I purchased and returned during the past two years because I have been unable to resolve this problem.


As a result, the install is always based on “using product at distance 5” with the startup volume in /Volumes/System/ or /Volumes/System/Volumes/ instead of /Volumes/, where it belongs. This problem started in December 2018 when the recovery partition on my 2011 MBA got messed up during one of my attempts at performing a clean, USB installations of macOS High Sierra. The problem I have with my new 2020 13” MacBook Pro running Catalina 10.15.7 unfortunately, is not a new problem.
