[QUOTE="Chrisk-K, post: 1881787, member: 407733"] I just wanted to check my two external drives (one SSD the other rotating) using FirstAid of my M1 Mini running Big Sur. No issue was found on the external APFS SSD as expected. However, FirstAid failed on the external exFAT rotating hard drive and gave me the following lines. "File system check exit code is 0. Restoring the original state found as mounted. An internal error has occurred. : (-69610)" "Get info" shows the correct volume name (i.e., Mac & PC) of the exFAT drive but shows "Unknown" as the volume type. I use this exFAT drive as a file backup drive for my Mac and PC. A really weird thing is that the created date is Dec. 31, 1969 and the modified date is Jan 1, 1980 (what the heck?). Those dates are correctly listed for my external SSD and another external rotating drive used for Time Machine. The interesting thing is I haven't encountered any error with the exFAT hard drive, and my Windows 10 machine's disk error checking shows no problem with the exFAT drive. I could back up the contents of the exFAT drive and reformat it to see if that would solve the problem. But I'd like to know what might be going on... Comments are welcome! [/QUOTE]
