"A directory optimization index could not be calculated for this disk because of a disk malfunction. Rebuild this disk as soon as possible to recover your files."
The above was displayed when checking an internal startup drive.
Next step: started from an external, ran DW (v5.1) and found the internal was at a 7 so rebuilt (to a 10).
Restarted from the internal and opened DW, same message [disk malfunction] remained.
My guesses:
1) something w/ permissions?
2) ROM issue? the internal drive at one time had Monterey, was erased w/ DU and a working copy of High Sierra was cloned to it
