Hi guys,

I recently had to re-install my entire system from scratch (Clover 5122, Catalina 10.15.7). I guess I messed s.th. up during the installation process. Somehow, I have now 2 times the macOS - Data partition visible in disk utility program (see screenshot). I am uncertain if I can simply delete one and if so, which one is the correct one that can be deleted?
Any help would be appreciated ...

I ran into the same thing after installing Catalina last night on my DeskMini 100. Given a very limited exposure to Catalina, I'm not real sure if it is 'normal' or not. However, the PCIE NVME drive (with Mojave 14.4) is still showing as a single volume. I suspect this has to do with some OS-specific changes having to do with Catalina.
I'm still just getting setup and testing for 'bugs' &/or certain specific improvements that I hope will be present, so I can't say 4 sure, or with any confidence...
Guys?

Anyways, here's a couple Shots from Disk Utility:

perfectly normal
 
"perfectly normal" <-- naa I wouldn't say so in my case, as I had 2x the MacOS Data Volume (see screenshot). I meanwhile delete one of them so that I have 2 partitions Mac-OS and MacOS - Data.

yes, your screen shot is normal
 
did you open it in full screen? it cant be right to see 3 volumes:

and two with the same name. As said, I deleted one and the system remains stable.
