Fix Error: Found File Extend (id 818998) with Zero Crypto_id

When I run Disk Utility on the Macintosh HD - Data volume, I get the error saying: error: found file extend (id 818998) with zero crypto_id on encrypted volume fsroot tree is invalid The volume /dev/rdisk1s1 could not be verified completely. The system check exit code is 0. I run First Aid in macOS Recovery Mode but get the same result. What does this error mean? Do I need to fix any problem on the Macintosh HD - Data volume?

Why do you run First Aid to check the Macintosh HD - Data Volume? The Macintosh HD - Data volume is a part of the macOS volume groups and is used to store your user data. You usually don't need to check it unless your Mac doesn't run normally. "The system check exit code is 0" indicates that your Macintosh HD - Data volume has no errors.

Since you say you've run First Aid in both normal and macOS Recovery Mode, I guess that your Mac doesn't have startup issues.

The error: found file extend (id 818998) with zero crypto_id is related to the encryption on the volume. You can enter macOS Recovery Mode to fix the error. That is to erase the Macintosh HD volume group with APFS and then reinstall macOS.

Erasing the startup disk will make you lose files, so, remember to back up your files before erasing.
