FirstAid drive errors in Sonoma with APFS drives
I'm getting errors when running FirstAid on an APFS encrypted. Running Sonoma on a 2020 iMac.
iMac 27″, macOS 14.6
If you haven't done so already you should update to Sonoma 14.7.2.

Run First Aid on the hidden Container. Within Disk Utility you may need to click "View" and select "Show All Devices" before the hidden Container appears on the left pane of Disk Utility. By running First Aid on the hidden APFS Container, it will also automatically run First Aid on all of the APFS volumes within that Container. Sometimes the Container will have a problem that will prevent repairs on the APFS volumes within that Container.
Run First Aid again until the errors are gone. If after several scans the errors remain, then you will need to run First Aid while booted into Recovery Mode. If the errors still remain after several more scans, then you will need to perform a clean install of macOS by first erasing the disk (destroys the data on the drive) followed by reinstalling macOS & restoring from a backup.
