		rahimnathwani 4 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Disk Utility still can't check and repair APFS vol... I needed to resize my APFS partition to install Asahi Linux. The Asahi installer couldn't resize the partition due to some orphan inodes or something. Rebooting into Recovery mode and using Disk Utility (GUI) and diskutil (CLI) didn't fix the issues. But `fsck_apfs -y` did the trick. I had to first do `diskutil unlock volume -nomount` as it was an encrypted volume.

Is fsck* on the floss side?

No. fsck_apfs is an Apple tool.
