DiskWarrior pour Mac

MacOS Mojave iMac27 inch Retina 5k 2019 3.6 ghz Intel Core i9. 128gb memory Continually experience corruption 3tb fusion drive APFS. Between disk utility and terminal been able to fix most of them eventually. Used to run disk warrior on HFS+ and worked great even when TechTools failed, which it did most of the time. Now I got a real problem. MacOS is supposed to remove swapfiles on power up. It does not do so.RESULT DiskUtility shows…. error: drec_key object (old 0x2): Invalid hash (0, expected 3dc2b2) of name (swapfile0) fsroot tree is invalid The volume /dev/disk0s2 could not be verified completely Storage system check exit code is 0. Does anyone have a fix outside reformat, reinstall and restore? Last time we tried download of MacOS Mojave from internet (Apple) they did not have current version and created havoc for several hours until accidentally checking version in About this Mac. Do not know what can remove this swapfile and cannot seem to find it via terminal either. Thanks

Anybody still working on this app? The last update is from February 2023, which came 4 ½ years after the previous one. And still no support for APFS drives! Is Alsoft still alive? Can't believe anybody buys this outdated software at USD 115+ these days.

DiskWarrior is a classic that goes way back. However, I use another tool called Cocktail and TechToolPro so I never bought it. Now I see that it won't support APFS drives and that Apple is essentially pushing independent developers, repair shops and the like out of business with their SoC architecture, which essentially amounts to converting everything — even desktops and laptops — into a mostly unrepairabe, non-upgradeble device. If any part of the memory, SSD or graphics card fails, the entire device becomes a brick. So clearly with APFS and Apple Silicone the stakes are that much higher for a software solution that will resurrect them from the dead when their internal recovery functions fail, as can happen in the event of a hardware failure. But what is the answer for developers like DiskWarrior? Apple is clearly sending the message with their T2 security chips, signed certificates for software, System Integrity Protection and other moves that they absolutely do not want anyone modifying any aspect of the device! (Just like Big Government, Big Tech loves to micromanage their users, while calling it "safety and security"!) In conclusion, I thought I would download this software while it's still out there because I'm a curmudgeon and refuse to go with the subscription model for anything and everything. As a result, I intend to keep my old but working Intel Macs around for 32-bit app support and the simple fact that I OWN my copy of Microsoft Office 11, CS6, etc. But now I'm asking myself: Why should I pay over $100 for a utility that is essentially crippled under Apple Silicone/APFS? DiskWarrior ought to cut their prices in half and make it clear that users of M1/M2 Macs will not have the same options as their HFS+ counterparts. This software may be kneecapped, but I hope the developers will keep offering it because there will be thousands of people around the world keeping around Macs that no longer have Apple Care and can't be easily replaced. In that case, this product will be more useful than ever.

If you're still using DiskWarrior, you're using a relatively antiquated Mac formatted as HTF+. It was great for that. But DiskWarrior is DOA for modern APFS formatted Macs. The only repair option available for APFS is Apple's own Disk Utility. Period. There are essays online about why this is the case. Don't expect this situation to change. Apple isn't budging. - -> Thankfully, APFS has enough self-checking to rarely require repair. But YES, APFS can be damaged! It's not perfect. Regular (monthly maybe) checking with Disk Utility in Recovery Mode is useful. Just be sure to cull out old drive snapshots first, or you could be running Disk Utility for hours, and hours.

I updated to the latest version 5.3.1 but it will not scan any of my SSDs or hard drives stating that it does not support this version of APFS. What? I’m running macOS Ventura on a Mac Studio Max. I thought at first that it was because of File Vault, but my other volumes that are not encrypted by File Vault could not be tested either. What version of APFS is supported, and how do I get access to a copy of Disk Utility that formats drives in the version that they support? They don’t say.
