"Repair disk permissions" has likewise been relegated to the trash-heap of history.Īs an aside, Disk Utility looks very different in El Capitan than it did in previous OS X releases. Users of Macs before the modern age may remember "rebuild your Desktop" as a common troubleshooting refrain. It was one of those old-school remedies that was offered as a cure-all for all sorts of problems, but rarely actually did anything. Honestly, it was an open question if repairing file permissions has had a real benefit, at least for the past few releases of OS X. It's become redundant, thanks to improved file integrity in El Cap. So don't worry that the repair permissions option isn't available in Disk Utility anymore. El Capitan automatically repairs file permissions during software updates and changes. Manual disk permission repair simply isn't necessary anymore. That's because El Capitan makes some essential changes to the way it handles files. And why remove the two options if they are useful. I would think that if Multibeast itself did repair permissions automatically that this would not occur.

But that doesn't mean Disk Utility has been hobbled. I say this because I just did a ML install, and after Multibeast finished, I did 'repair permissions' from Disk Utility and a number of permissions were fixed. noticed that there's no option anymore to verify or repair disk permissions.
