Disk First Aid: "apfs_fs_alloc_count is not valid" Should I worry?
Hi,
I just ran First Aid on my MacOS Ventura system disk. Here are the results:

Is that warning about "apfs_fs_alloc_count is not valid" something that I should worry about? I ran First Aid a second time, thinking that the count might have been "repaired", but I received the same message the second time.
Thanks,
