I'm not 100% certain this is M1 Mac related or even Big Sur related, but I can't find anything online to corroborate this. But for the past several weeks, a mysterious volume keeps popping up on my Desktop called "Update." The contents of which are:
➜ Update ls -la
total 528
drwxr-xr-x 10 root wheel 320 Jan 15 19:17 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root wheel 320 Jan 20 17:27 ..

d-wx--x--t 3 root wheel 96 Jan 15 19:17 .TemporaryItems
d-wx--x--t 3 root wheel 96 Jan 15 08:33 .Trashes
drwx------ 7 root wheel 224 Jan 15 19:27 .fseventsd
drwx--x--x 2 root wheel 64 Dec 18 19:30 Controller
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 64 Dec 18 19:30 Firmware
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 592 Dec 19 01:49 last_update_result.plist
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 219529 Dec 21 11:57 restore.log
What's strange is that all of the directories seem to be empty, though for some odd reason, I can't read any of the first 3 directories, even as root. Anyone else run into this or know what this could be? The contents of the .plist file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

<key>BootUUID</key>

</plist>
The restore.log file is long so I've attached it instead. Going through it, it does seem like an OS thing, but I can't understand why it keeps mounting and coming back after I reboot or unmount it (though not right away). I'm on the latest Big Sur 11.1. Any help would be appreciated.
