False error in Disk Utility
Q WhenI run Disk Utility’s First Aid on an APFS volume in Ventura 13.3.1, it returns an error and warns me to back up that volume. How can I repair that volume, or is it really broken beyond repair?

A Thisis a long-standing bug in Disk Utility’s First Aid feature that goes right back to the introduction of APFS with High Sierra. Select a volume or APFS container (like a partition), run First Aid, and Disk Utility calls a command tool named fsck_apfs to do all the hard work.
