Q: Is 'Repair Permissions' actually working ?

Hi,

I have a Macbook pro with OS 10.8.5 I routinely verify and repair permissions but I am beginning to wonder if it actually does anything. After the repair is complete it lists all the items/files etc that have been corrected and yet if I hit the repair button immediately afterwards again I get exactly the same results, the same corrections relisted. It is as if it not actually repairing anything, just reporting that it has done.  Is this normal ? I can only use the HD to access the Disk First Aid, no disks came with the laptop.

 

Cheers

Brian.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
