Disk Utility FIRST AID error: "Mismatch between extentref entry reference count"...

I am getting a ton of these errors (over 100) when I run Disk Utility First Aid on the Fusion Drive of my late-2012 iMac (see attached). They do not resolve when I run First Aid multiple times. What should I do about these errors, if anything? Thank you


It then ends with: "Operation successful."



iMac 27", macOS 10.14

I've seen the problem reported before on Fusion Drives. Since Disk Utility completes with "Operation Successful" I don't think there's actually a problem. But you can run DriveDx to double check. DriveDx is a more robust utility than DU. If you need any help interpreting the report you can post it here.
