Disk Utility query

Due to an issue with Mail, I rebooted Catalina in Safe Mode to verify OS integrity using Disk Utility. After applying First Aid, only Macintosh HD - Data showed three errors but it's unclear to me whether they were corrected. Below is the First Aid process summary, and it seems to me as if the errors listed haven't been corrected. Should/can I leave it as is?


Verifying file system.


Volume could not be unmounted.


Using live mode.


Performing fsck_apfs -n -l -x /dev/rdisk1s1


Checking the container superblock.


Checking the EFI jumpstart record.

Those errors are related to the APFS snapshots. They do not affect the disk nor the functionality of macOS. That is the reason why Disk Utility returned the OK result: The volume /dev/rdisk1s1 appears to be OK.
