Hi,
I am running fsck and the utility always find issue with this particular file:
Checking the fsroot tree
warning: inode (id 59555291): has the compression bsdflag, but doesn't have the compression xattr
warning: inode (id 59555291): dataless bsd_flag is set, but the compression xattr is missing
Can you help me locate the faulty file?
iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 13.3
Use the following Terminal command for your inode filename detection and suppress standard error "permission denied" eyestrain, or change the filesystem starting location from / :
find / -inum 59555291 2>/dev/null
If it finds the filename and then appears to hang, you can exit the command with a control-c interrupt. Hard linked files will have the same inode number.

Try this in Terminal:
sudo ls -iR / | grep 59555291
This should take a while, and may produce output such as
59555291 filename
where instead of "filename" is the name of the file.
To now find the full path try
sudo find / -name filename
(replacing "filename" with the name you got in the previous step).
Hi,
Thanks for advice. Unfortunately I have not obtained file name, rather getting such output:
ls: com.apple.aned: Operation not permitted
ls: /Library/Caches: Operation not permitted
ls: /System/Library/Templates/Data/private/var/db/oah: Operation not permitted
ls: com.apple.aned: Operation not permitted
ls: /System/Volumes/Data/Library/Caches: Operation not permitted
ls: /System/Volumes/Data/System/Library/Templates/Data/private/var/db/oah: Operation not permitted
ls: Volumes: directory causes a cycle
ls: /System/Volumes/Data/Volumes/.timemachine/X/Y/Z/iMac (X).sparsebundle/bands: Socket is not connected
ls: /System/Volumes/Data/Volumes/.timemachine/X/Y/Z/iMac (X).sparsebundle/mapped: Socket is not connected
ls: fts_read: Socket is not connected
X, Y, Z are generic names for personal folder structure
Something is amiss.
For example,
ls /Library/Caches
should work, even without prefixing it with "sudo"...
You should try the command that VikingOSX indicated, which in principle does the job better (my bad in not checking the option of using inode in find).
But given the errors you got above, I fear that you may get similar errors with that. Try it, anyway.
It seems that your drive may have permissions and other problems.
Make sure to have an up to date backup.
I have checked my disk after login and via restore mode - both result in:
The volume /dev/rdisk1s1 appears to be OK
File system check exit code is 0
I have also checked all containers using disk utility via restore mode and everything is fine except that one issue with:
warning: inode (id 59555291): has the compression bsdflag, but doesn't have the compression xattr
warning: inode (id 59555291): dataless bsd_flag is set, but the compression xattr is missing
Do you have any other ideas what might be wrong and how to locate this file? Maybe I should run terminal via restore or safe mode?
These problems are unlikely to be caused by such a minor mismatch of metadata.
You should probably start a new thread, detail the problems with waking from sleep and others, and document it with an Etrecheck report to save time (you are bound to be asked for one, so people can look for possible causes).
If it reports the disk is OK, chasing down the random mornings is probably a waste of time unless you see some other problem manifest when using the drive.
I am chasing this issue as iMac has random problems with waking up from sleep and I need to restart it or unplug. I have already reset SMC and PRAM/NVRAM and the issue is not resolved.
