I use APFS on my external 1tb ssd hard drive. Today the second time I noticed an strange warning after mounting my drive "macOS can't repair volume:…".
When I started fsck_apfs what is going on I got the following printout
➜ ~ sudo fsck_apfs /dev/rdisk3s1
Password:
Checking the container superblock.
warning: container has been mounted by APFS version 1677.0.6, which is newer than 1412.141.1
warning: disabling overallocation repairs by default; use -o to override
error: (oid 0x401) nr: invalid o_oid (0xa132)
error: (oid 0x401) nr: invalid o_type (0x80000003, expected 0x80000011)
error: verification/reading of the nx_reaper object failed: Illegal byte sequence
The volume /dev/rdisk3s1 could not be verified completely.
On my Mac I'm still on 10.15.7. I did mount my drive once with my iPad Pro with iPadOS 14.0 and worked on it.
Did iPadOS change the APFS version? If yes: WHHHY?!
Do I risk a data loss, if I work with my drive under the current circumstances of the APFS version mismatch?
