What Does Disk Repair on Mac Do and How It Improves Performance?

-

 Users of Mac OS X have two major utilities to verify and repair hard disks or their MacBook Air/Pro and iMac: Disk Utility and fsck.

The Terminal-savvy Mac owners will choose in favor of the command-line fsck utility. Meanwhile, most users will launch Disk Utility if their computer won’t start properly. So, why do you need to repair your Mac’s hard disk?

If your machine has sustained improper shutdowns, unexpected power cuts or system crashes, it may experience the system errors or disk directory deprecation. Fixing these errors is important to ensure your Mac’s smooth performance. These are the part of major Mac repair services. Perform a thorough disk check in case any of the below symptoms become evident:

  • if your Mac has a strange behavior after sustaining a power cut or a hard restart;
  • if the message saying ‘file system dirty, run fsck’ appears in the middle of Mac’s startup;
  • if your Mac boots up but freezes before making it to the login screen;
  • if your Mac loads the login screen but fails to load the Desktop.

It’s worth running periodic disk checks as a part of maintenance routine before installing the operating system and updates, software, or as a preventative measure.

When running a disk repair procedure on your MacBook Air/Pro or iMac, repairing disk permissions is also a good idea. The above applies to the Mac OS X versions before El Capitan. As for macOS Sierra and High Sierra, these OS versions no longer include disk permissions repair.

Whenever your Macintosh HD corrupt needs to be repaired, Disk Utility can help you out. It checks the startup disk and other volumes on your Mac for errors and fixes them on time. Mac OS X El Capitan and earlier OS X versions verifying and repairing disk permissions using Disk Utility or Terminal commands. In macOS Sierra and High Sierra, the Disk Utility has a slightly reduced functionality. The latest Mac OS versions can repair disk permissions automatically.
