Help - What does this Disk Utilty notification mean?

[shakey55]

I ran disk utility and found this. Can someone help me.

I started up in recovery and ran first aid again and got the same pop up.

What does it mean and what should I do

Boot in single user mode (hold down cmd+s while booting).
In single user mode, write
"fsck -fy"
Run the command, and when it's done it should say that it's made changes
Then you can write "exit" to boot your Mac

It just means that there are a few issues with the file system. Likely nothing serious. HFS+ gets corrupted from time to time. Metadata not being written properly or something like that. It happens

Actually if it says "it made changes" you should run the command again, until it says "the disk is OK".

That's true, but usually once is enough and the second time it'll just say the disk appears OK and only verify. But you're right that there are cases in which a second pass or even more passes are advisable in that it will make changes a second time around or whatnot, sure
