Disk First Aid

I'll summarize what I did. I restarted the MBP in Safe Mode and ran Disk Utility for the following volumes that appear under APPLE SSD AP8192R Media:

• Container disk3
• Macintosh HD - Volumes
• Macintosh HD - snapshot

And this is what appeared at the end of each verification:

Running First Aid on “Container disk3”

The volume /dev/rdisk3s6 appears to be OK.

What do you suggest I do?

Thanks for the reply, but I have a question. Does it make a difference if I run Disk Utility with the computer running or is it better to shut down the MBP, restart in Recovery Mode and run it from there?

Every week I run Disk Utility to verify the HD since I have an over 4 TB of data, much of it family photos of 2 generations and almost all my files from the mid 80s.

I haven’t noticed anything wrong or not working, but in other occasions I waited until I saw something not working and I think I lost information.

And finally, the process of erasing the HD, reinstalling the OS and transferring all the data and mails takes about 36 hours.

One last thing, I installed Ventura the day it was released to the public and started having problems. I called Apple and they suggested I erase the HD, reinstall the OS, etc. and the link the person gave me did not allow the download of Ventura, only the previous OS so I installed that and I started having lots of issues. So I had to to the entire process all over again, this time I installed Ventura and this time the MBP works, I only have one minor glitch (in Mail the attachments of non-Apple software, i.e. MS Mail, Excel, Acrobat PDF appear as generic icons) in addition to this one.

Your recommendation would be to re-boot the MBP in SAFE MODE and run Disk Utility several times to see if that corrects the error?

I am currently running disk utility in safe mode. I’ll write when it’s finished and tell how it went. Thanks for being generous with your knowledge and your support

You mean that even if it says "File system verify or repair failed. : (-69845)" followed by "Operation successful" it means the HD is OK?
