> False error in Disk Utility
When I 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?
This is 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 hardversion 13.4 it often fails because Disk Utility is unable to unmount the disk. That returns an error that looks serious, when it’s actually just an error in the app.
