    login as single user: reboot then hold apple-s.
    then type: /sbin/fsck -fy

    Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:

    ** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK

    If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:

    ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
