I am working on trying to sort out my High Sierra system disk - long story and maybe "interesting" questions to come. But right now I am starting by trying to verify the situation from the ground up and have something I don't understand or know what to make of:

When I try to check the disk with Disk Utility First Aid I get an error, "could not be verified completely", and "Operation Successful". What do I make of that, and how should I proceed?

In Disk Utility the system disk shows up as three levels and gives me:

SanDisk Ultra II 960GB Media
Container disk1
Macintosh HD

On SanDisk Ultra II 960GB Media:

Checking for an EFI system partition
Checking the EFI system partition’s size
Checking the EFI system partition’s file system
Checking the EFI system partition’s folder content
Checking all HFS data partition loader spaces
Checking booter partitions
Checking Core Storage Physical Volume partitions
The partition map appears to be OK
Operation successful.

On Container disk1:
Verifying storage system
Using live mode.
Performing fsck_apfs -n -x -l /dev/disk0s2
Checking volume.
Checking the container superblock.
Checking the EFI jumpstart record.
Checking the space manager.
Checking the object map.
Checking the APFS volume superblock.
Checking the object map.
Checking the fsroot tree.

fsroot tree is invalid.
The volume /dev/disk0s2 could not be verified completely.
Storage system check exit code is 0.
Operation successful.

On Macintosh HD:
Verifying file system.
Volume could not be unmounted.
Using live mode.
Performing fsck_apfs -n -l -x /dev/rdisk1s1
Checking volume.
Checking the container superblock.
Checking the EFI jumpstart record.
Checking the space manager.

I believe you will need to boot into Recovery, to properly use Disk Utility > First Aid on the startup drive.
