Disk Utility errors after faulty macOS update
Bonjour,
Mac Studio M1 Max
After updating Sonoma 14.7.3 to 14.7.4, I found the computer like frozen at the very beginning pf booting (I was away for an hour or so). Cautious about interrupting a System Update, I decided to wait 1 hour but not change. So I decided to shut it off and restart. It booted, seemed OK; but when launching Disk Utility, it returned many errors :

So this does not sound good it seems. I backup now
Should I try to repair thru MacOS Repair process ?
or anything else
so tedious to format and reinstall, especially when you have protected software
TIA, help appreciated
