Boot OSX Volume on time capsule.
an old time capsule backup from a dead TC onto my new model 1TB TC.
However the time capsule drive seems now to have an extra partition:
/dev/disk2
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: Apple partitionscheme *998.1 GB disk2
1: Apple partitionmap 32.3 KB disk2s1
2: Apple_Boot Boot OSX 134.2 MB disk2s2
3: Apple_HFSX Time Machine Backups 997.9 GB disk2s3
The Boot OSX volume appears on the desktop as a drive but does not appear in disk utility.
It contains a only a "backups.backup" folder and has only 11.8Mb used.
The old and current backups are on the "time machine backups" volume
When I run time machine the Boot OSX drive sometimes appears together with a time machine volume "Time Machine Backups" containing my old and current backups back to May 2009.
At other times the two volumes appear and the Boot OSX is the time machine volume (as shown by the TM clock icon), then no backup history prior to today is available.
What is the "Boot OSX" folder and how can I prevent Boot OSX from appearing?
I have re-booted several times and it is still there.
My wife's iMac restored back up and time machine seem normal on the same TC
