[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1909359, member: 110816"] My very quick searches online seem to indicate that this issue happens after a system crash or something bad happening. It looks like macOS takes note of a sanity of the machine by creating a hash during installation or something saying that we're good. If things break and the hash comes back differently, then the sanity of the machine is compromised. No-one has a clear idea what the cause is, but the fix is always a re-install to get a new set of hashes. [/QUOTE]
