> Did you type sync and wait? Not originally; but I just tried it, and doing "sync" and waiting 2 hours produces.... no difference.
*# sync* *# echo wait 2 hours* *wait 2 hours* *# df -h /a Filesystem Size Used Avail %Cap Mounted on/dev/sd2a 1.4M 529K 895K 37% /a* Some of the 529K is bad sectors (like 1,024 bytes); but why is 529K "used" when there are no files there: *# pwd * */aarm64# ls -la total 1drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7168 Jan 1 1980 ./drwxr-xr-x 32 root wheel 1024 Dec 29 02:38 ../* fascinatingly, now, when I try to "umount" the filesystem: *# umount /a umount: /a: Device busy* This behavior seems incorrect.
