How to fix File system verify or repair failed. : (-69845) I think many have posted about that. When I ran Disk First Aid on “Data” (disk3s5) of my internal drive I received this report: Verifying file system. Volume could not be unmounted. Using live mode.

File system verify or repair failed. : (-69845) I have followed some suggestions regarding this issue, the (-69845) error: I have tried to use recovery mode to run Disk Utility but it still couldn't fix that. I also tried to use fsck -fy in terminal in recovery mode, the following messages appeared: warning: option -f is not implemented, ignoring error: container /dev/rdisk3 is mounted with write access. I'm not familiar with unix stuff so I better give it up. I just want to ask if I earse the Mac and reset it to factory settings. And then restore the files from Time Machine. Would these procedures fix the problem? Or any other suggestion?

The volume /dev/rdisk4s1 appears to be OK. File system check exit code is 0 Restoring the original state found as mounted, Operation successful What is all of that and is it important or should I just ignore all?

What are you trying to restore exactly? To what?

My bad. I was using the command wrong. But now I have a “can’t validate size” error.

i need to create a new volume on an external disk from an internal disk, not a boot disk.
