Safe Mode question

[dadders6]

(Ventura iMac.) When I run First Aid, I get this notification (screenshot), and have been getting it, for a while. My computer is running fine, so I guess it's not a critical issue (?). If I go to Safe Mode, THEN run First Aid, will that fix it perhaps? I've never used safe mode, and am slightly squeamish about getting too far into the inner workings.

Boot into Recovery (Command+R while booting) and run Disk Utility. In DU make sure to select View > Show All Devices. Then run First Aid on your drive (top most in the tree view), followed by the container, then the Macintosh HD volume, and finally the Macintosh HD - Data volume.

First, make sure you have a decent backup.

Then:

Boot into Recovery (Command+R while booting) and run Disk Utility. In DU make sure to select View > Show All Devices.

But the recommended order is to first run First Aid on Macintosh HD - Data volume, then Container, and finally the drive. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102611

I used Recovery Mode, ran first aid on all the volumes and it made that error go away, Thanks. When I've used 'regular' first aid, I never saw 'Base System' listed. I guess I could google that.
