warning container has been mounted by apfs version 2313.1.2 which is newer than 2236.141.1

Hi,

I'm asking help about the message in the object that I saw when I run SOS on my disk in Recovery mode of my M1 Mac mini.

I have 14.7 installed and my Mac started to occupy all the disc space without reason. I have 1tb of disk with 200gb occupied but without a reason the Kernel_Task started to wrote more then 700gb on the disk.

I decided to restart the Mac mini but it doesn'twork. Black windows for hours.

Then I restarted in recovery mode and checked the disk and I noticed this:

warning: container has been mounted by APFS version 2313.1.2, which is newer than 2236.141.1.

warning: disabling overallocation repairs by default; use -o to override

The disk has 9,5gb free, so is impossible to restore Sonoma.

I eliminated more then 100gb using RM -r command on the terminal, but the free space is still 9,5gb.

I don't wont to format the Mac mini.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Mattia

Mac mini, macOS 14.7

You would get that Disk Utility version mismatch warning when you have formatted a drive to APFS on a newer version of macOS than the current version of macOS whose Disk Utility is older. The APFS features from a newer implementation of macOS may include APFS feature updates not present in the older operating system.

Warnings do not portend problems. They are notes to the developers.

The disk space problem could be many things unrelated to the drive itself.

Deleting data from an SSD doesn't free the space immediately. An SSD storage location must be reset in order to be writeable. The drive controller's Garbage Collection routine will need to run to reset the locations to writeable. This should occur over night if not sooner. The routine is significantly slowed down by not having much disk space available.

Time Machine Local Snapshots have filled

Hi Barney,

thanks for your answer.

but how a 14.7 system can know that there is a 15 system? I mean, 2313.1.2 is related to APFS of macOS 15, but how this system can load a container if is not installed because the current system is 14.7?

So, in your opinion I have to leave to computer on for several hours and just see if the space will came back?

This solution sound much better than reinstall the machine.

In your opinion what can fill the disk space without leaving trace? I check all the folder, even hidden, to see where are the 700gb without see any anomalies. No extra log space, no extra cache space, no extra cloud space, no extra container space..... Before to restart the Mac mini I checked the monitoring utility and saw that the kernel_task wrote more then 700gb, but I don't know why and where. The disk had only 200gb written.

The Mac mini make a backup on a time capsule by ethernet connection. The dimension of the backup on the Time Machine disk was 320gb and done few hour before the disaster.

I use this Mac mini just for sharing at home and Plex server.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi VikingOSX,

thanks for your answer. I understand but I didn't make any update. The last update I did was 14.7. I did the 14.7 update from 14.6 just two weeks ago not today.

The APFS 2313.1.2 is related to macOS 15, but how this system can load a container if is not installed because the current system is 14.7

No idea.

Well, the 100GB you deleted should come back. "Several hours…" I never turn mine off.

In your opinion what can fill the disk space without leaving trace? I check all the folder, even hidden, to see where are the 700gb without see any anomalies.

What did you use to look at all the folders? The built-in GUI tools are useless for examining storage usage.

I would suggest GrandPerspective.

Time Machine creates an APFS Snapshot of the drive, then copies it over to the backup drive. Something could have gone wrong with that process. Snapshots shouldn't take up much space, but very often Local Time Machine Snapshots fill up the drive.
