Hi Stephen, Yes, when I opened the updated Disk Utility (version 15.0), under the tab ‘First Aid’ it advises it will check the volume for errors, and repair the volume if necessary. No mention of Repair Permission which now has disappeared, possibly not required anymore under El Capitan.
I did run Repair Disk Permissions when under Yosemite prior to upgrading to El Capitan as per Ronni’s usual advice. Once El Capitan was up and running there seem to be no need to repair Permissions. One of our illuminatis, Ronni/Peter/Daniel, would be able to confirm that either Permissions are being repaired automatically under the new OS version, or has become redundant.

I still run that before and after every update. And I believe that Ronni still includes it in her list of “to do’s” for updates. > On 2 Oct 2015, at 5:07 pm, Philippe Chaperon <laut...@westnet.com.au > <mailto:laut...@westnet.com.au>> wrote: > > Hi Robin, > > Many thanks for SuperDuper!
