So: DiskWarrior (DW) won’t rebuild your disks because of your 2153,4903 errors. What that means is that DW can’t unmount your drive.<\/p>\n
Here’s what to do:<\/p>\n
(But first: you’re on your own! \u00a0If you follow the advice below, and totally trash your drive, I’m truly sorry, but I’m not responsible, since I’m just\u00a0telling you what worked for me. YMMV.)<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
First, reboot and try again, without anything but DW running.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
No go? \u00a0Darned sure that nothing IS using the drive? \u00a0Willing to take a chance? \u00a0OK, then – do this:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
1) Run Disk -Utililty- (from Apple). That will get you a list of all your drives, including the one that won’t unmount. Leave Disk Utility running.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
2) Go to the finder, and control-click on the drive, and select “eject.” \u00a0It will complain, and offer you the option of using “force eject” instead. Choose to force-eject the drive. (This may take a couple of clicks on the “force eject” button.)<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
3) Once the drive has ejected, return to Disk Utility\u00a0and highlight the -volume- that you just ejected. (Yes, it will still be listed.)<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
4) choose “Repair Disk” under the first aid tab.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
5) let it do its thing.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
6) NOW, go back to DW and select that volume again from the popup menu. This time (at least for me) it will work properly.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
7) Reboot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
