My HD in High Sierra is slow. Disk Utility comes up with an error message:
warning: apfs_num_other_fsobjects (66) is not valid (68)
Any ideas what is causing this? Doesn't seem to get fixed with Disk Utilities.
thanks.
iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS 10.13
If that appears towards or at the end of the run where it checks snapshots, then ignore the error. The disk is fine. Why do you think the HDD is slow? Do you have a HDD or an SSD? APFS should not be used on HDDs.
First Aid- Verify and Repair HFS+, APFS Drives with Disk Utility
The error means that according to the disk's data there should be a count of 66, not 68.
Have you run First Aid from the Recovery Partition?
My HD is an SSD and has always been speedy. The error message is at the end of the run, I think is is after snapshots. I will run it again. This time no error message.??
I ran EtreCheck and at seems that <iconservicesagaent> is taking more than 1/4 of availble Ram.
also, get this message = "terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException"
Thanks for your reply -- I am going to try to reinstall the OS High Sierra. The has worked on my laptop.

Thanks for your response. I am running that again, and after I am reinstalling the OS - High Sierra. That has worked in the past on my laptop. My iMac HD seems to be running so slow in trying to rebuild the icons as I switch windows in Finder.
<iconservicesagent> takes up more than a third of available RAM. This seems to be locking up Finder. I appreciate your help.

OK, let us know after it settles down if it improves... OS will be busy after a reinstall.
