How to fix File system verify or repair failed. : (-69845)

I think many have posted about that. When I ran Disk First Aid on “Data” (disk3s5) of my internal drive I received this report:

I have followed some suggestions regarding this issue, the (-69845) error: I have tried to use recovery mode to run Disk Utility but it still couldn't fix that. I also tried to use fsck -fy in terminal in recovery mode, the following messages appeared:


warning: option -f is not implemented, ignoring


error: container /dev/rdisk3 is mounted with write access.


I'm not familiar with unix stuff so I better give it up. I just want to ask if I earse the Mac and reset it to factory settings. And then restore the files from Time Machine. Would these procedures fix the problem? Or any other suggestion?

Hello, thank for the advice.


I already have it installed and everything’s looking good when using that software:



Though, I still get corrupted files occurring in the Finder (like .png pictures that I can’t open in any software like preview, chrome or safari and that can’t be repaired as well)


And when running Disk Utility First Aid, I get the exit code 8 (both logged-in a session and in Recovery mode) with the error: File system verify or repair failed. : (-69845)

Hi, I’m currently encountering the same issue on my M1 pro SSD when running Disk First Aid in recovery mode. Same error code and logs.


I’m recently having an issue with files getting corrupted in my Finder, which lead me to perform this diagnostic.


Have you been able to solve this issue? If so, how did you do? Compete factory reset followed by a Time Machine data restoration ?


Best,
