When your Disk Utility reports File system verify or repair failed.: (-69845), you may fail to perform file system verification and receive File system check exit code is 8.

File system verify or repair failed.: (-69845) indicates your files system on the drive has been corrupted. This error may happen on an internal or external hard drive on a Mac running any version of macOS.

To fix File system check exit code is 8, it's recommended to go through the following quick solutions.

  • Plug the drive into another PC
  • Use another USB cable
