i've been meaning to ask this forever.

when i run disk utility, i verify before running first aid (no reason to repair what isn't broken).

but everytime i run repair permissions, something gets fixed.

why verify? lately i've just hit repair permissions.


any thoughts??

If you intend to repair, there's no need to verify. Repairing runs the same checks as verifying. The only reason to verify is if you merely want information and don't intend to repair anything (e.g. on a write-protected or deeply screwy disk).

yes i noticed this a while ago.. if only it would skip to "repair" if we first clicked on "verify" then after it found something, we click on repair.. instead it repeats the whole process of checking and everything.. so now I just click on Repair and forget about it

me too, I only click in repair...
