Quick update: I've been informed that the new data volume appears as a mount
point at /System/Volumes/Data, as one can also tell by using the "mount"
command.
My problem was that my app did not list this new volume because it's
categorized as hidden.
All I have to do is perform a separate searchfs() on that extra volume.
Thanks for the quick help (which I got in a private email)!
