container disk1 problem

When I run first aid, it shows a warning message, what does it mean? What can I do to fix it?

I remember discussions about this on developper and technical forums. No final conclusion as far as I know.


My understanding is First Aid is just a fancy UI for an underlying utility which is in fact a Volume check. Using it on a Container seems inconsistent.


Why it happens? OS updates and migration to APFS may cause it. Some users report that a clean install/reformat may clear the issue. This is overkill in my opinion. Keep in mind they are just Warnings.


Hope that answer your question,
