Hi
As someone who has done a fair number of Migration Assistant transfer of data, I can respond with ¡°nope, never seen that¡±

I purchased a new 14¡± M3 Pro from Apple¡¯s online store about a week ago. I didn¡¯t even take it out of the shipping container until today because of my iPad¡¯s excursion from car to pavement on a freeway office, but this morning I used Migration Assistant to transfer my ¡°stuff¡± from my 2019 16¡± Intel MacBook Pro.
Curiously, when looking for a source, the new laptop displayed TWO choices initially. The first was the Macintosh HD volume of my old laptop, the second was a volume named ¡°Mint.¡± I have NO idea where that came from. There¡¯s no such volume mounted on my old Mac.
I basically ignored that choice, and when I confirmed the identity codes matched on BOTH computers, I was offered a new set of THREE choices on the new target (expanded by one to limit transferred user accounts to just my own admin account. I selected the ¡°Macintosh HD¡± icon, and as I expected, that stimulated the Migration Assistant to transfer the other two non-admin user accounts from my old Mac as well as my own Admin Account.
I did a quick online search and did not find any mention of the ¡°Mint¡± icon/volume. Has anyone seen that before?
