Hi All,

I've tried finding similar posts but haven't turned up anything. A few days ago overnight my otherwise very stable NVMe Monterey 12.5 installation (via Martin Lo's opencore package) stopped booting. It still shows up in the bootpicker, but only loads about 1/5 of the way on the bootscreen before looping back to the OC bootpicker.

Through that disk's recovery partition Ive tried to do first aid on disk utility, but get error 66.

I have other boot drives (Catalina and windows on SSD) that are working fine. On Catalina I can read/browse and copy files off of my monterey NVMe, however I can't delete files- so somehow the drive has become read-only. This is problematic because the drive doesn't have enough space for me to reinstall monterey on it via recovery.

Is there any way I can reset the permissions on my NVMe drive back to read/write? Does anyone know why this happened or how I can fix it?

The drive is a Samsung 970, its worked for the better part of a year prior to this and I believe it has the most current firmware. Any ideas?
