What does error code -69716 mean when updating MacOS? I'm trying to update my MacOS from Mojave 10.14.6 to Monterey. I keep getting this error code that says "storage system verify or repair failed". What does this mean? How do I fix it?

Problem updating to MacOS Monterey I am currently on MacOS Mohave (10.14.6) on a MacBook Pro, and am trying to upgrade to MacOS Monterey. I am able to download the update and run the installation. However, when the installation finishes and the computer restarts, I get an error message that says: "Storage system verify or repair failed.: (-69716)." The only option is to basically reboot back into 10.14.6. I thought maybe the download was corrupted somehow, so I removed it then downloaded the update again and re-installed. Unfortunately, I got the same error when I tried to restart. Any ideas on what this error is and how to fix it?

Well, it sounds like your storage system has an issue. It may well be a hardware issue.

If it happened to me, I would check using Disk Utility. But likely you have a hardware issue.
