MacBook Pro 2015, 256GB SSD disk
I have created a second partition on my disk to try Linux. Everything was fine, but at some point, macOS disappeared from the boot menu.
After some googling and trying some things, I thought it was a problem with the boot manager. I installed rEFInd but it didn’t help. So I tried torecover everything using recovery mode. But there was no option to reinstall macOS on the first partition. I could only erase it. I also couldn’t mount it to macOS Recovery.
I installed OS X 10.10 Yosemite (base for my MacBook) on the second partition and updated it to macOS 10.14 Mojave (to be able to mount that first APFS partition). But I still can’t mount it:
daniils-MacBook-Pro:Volumes daniilkk_yose$ sudo mount -t apfs /dev/disk0s2 plz/
mount_apfs: mount: Inappropriate file type or format
Also, diskutil outputs many F‘s instead of type and name:
daniils-MacBook-Pro:Volumes daniilkk_yose$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

4: APFS Volume VM 1.1 GB disk1s4
Disk Utility doesn’t show this partition at all:
Is there a way to mount it and get my data back?
