fsroot tree is invalid

[berrypancake]

I have a 2016 MacBook Pro and the other week I had my logic board and SSD replaced due to my laptop not starting up. They installed High Sierra and ever since I've gotten it back I've had various minor problems. Every time I reboot my laptop my desktop reverts to the default Sierra picture. I've searched around on other forums for a solution and nothing has worked. I ran disk utility before and this is what came up:

Checking the fsroot tree.
error: drec_key object (oid 0x9bcf4): invalid hash (0, expected 1f13a8) of name (desktoppicture.db)
fsroot tree is invalid.
The volume /dev/rdisk1s1 could not be verified completely.
File system check exit code is 0.
Restoring the original state found as mounted.
Operation successful.

I was wondering if this was a minor issue that can be left or if there's anything I can do to fix it myself? Other than the desktop issue everything works fine!

I would back up if you have since put data on it, then use internet recovery to nuke the drive and do a clean install yourself. What you described means the machine isn't passing fsck which should not happen if their install went properly. Since APFS documentation isn't finalized there are still parts of the filesystem we don't fully understand. Maybe someone smarter than me know a better way.

The only other thing I can say to try is boot to single user and run "fsck_apfs -d" which may give you more info. For example, if you are lucky, this command spits out an inode number, which you can then search for the file associated with it and delete it which could fix issue. In your case however I would say if data is not an issue, just nuke and pave.
