Hi Stephen,

Yeah, Google takes a leading minus to ignore matches with the following
word.  Search for «"69842"», including the double quotes that insist
that word be in the results, and then play around with the other search
terms, e.g. `fsck', etc.  Adding «"couldn't mount disk"» if you're
getting that error might also help.

I found a few, including

Ah, OK.  Support is growing.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APFS#macOS

Cheers, Ralph.
