Warnings appeared while Disk Utility was running First Aid on my Mac SSD Container in recovery mode.

What do these warnings mean?

Checking the fsroot tree.

I solved it by restarting in Recovery Mode and using Disk Utility to unmount, then remount,

my Mac SSD Data Drive.

All the warnings were gone after remounting and running First Aid again.
