The Dictionary on M1 Mac crashed twice. I ran Disk Utility and my data volume dev/rdisk3s1 was 'found to be corrupt and needs to be repaired'. The log says 'performing deferred repairs', 'it appears to be OK'. But when I run it again the same corrupt message reappears. 😔 In recovery mode, tried running fsck_apfs but can't do anything: 'failed to enable crypto I/O mode for container /dev/rdisk3s1: invalid argument'. Will try turning off fire fault. #Mac #AskFedi #troubleshooting #fsck #apfs

**Filesystem Wars: Why Your Choice of Storage is Actually a Security Move**
This is not a “which filesystem should I use?” checklist. It is a walk through the ideas behind FFS, BFS, NTFS, ext4, ZFS, and APFS — and why storage design is never just about storage.
Crash consistency, journaling, soft updates, CoW, snapshots, encryption, space sharing: different filesystems solve different problems, and those choices shape reliability, usability, and security.
The real target, of course, is APFS.
