[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1833122, member: 83420"] Well, [B]Rod[/B], you are obviously correct that the appearance and warning are completely different from previous Operating Systems. Below is what you see with macOS Mojave: [ATTACH=FULL]30472[/ATTACH] I can only offer some guesses. Firstly, it has always surprised me that one could carry out First Aid (FA) on a Drive currently in use - as implied in my screenshot. No mention of suspending all use during the process in my case. When needed, I've always carried out First Aid (FA) from within Recovery Mode or from a USB Installer. It never occurred to me that FA was possible from "within" the Drive. Could that not explain the new warning??? Second guess: maybe, only maybe, using FA on either HD or HD - Data actually suspends activity on both, as it would be difficult to use one without the other. And from that guess, maybe FA is applied to both HDs irrespective of which HD you choose??? Ian [/QUOTE]
