I would imagine this is because I have Recovery open on this disk and thats why it is busy. I am unable to wipe my hard drive and install new OS X as the resource is busy. Apart from improper way to partitioning Mac system there are few other reasons which can cause emergence of this very error in Mac such as abrupt system shutdown, file system corruption, virus attack, etc. MacOS Cannot unmount disk0 resource busy. In such scenario users simply gets panic and search option for data recovery after Mac partition failed with error could not unmount disk. Many symptoms may show that your Mac’s hard disk is on the verge of crashing. It is truly a helpless situation for Mac users. However any kind of inconsistencies while partitioning the hard drive can prove costly for the users resulting in various nasty issues including system performance, data inaccessibility and many more. I though that under OSX it would be a snap to mount a LINUX partitioned hard disk and copy files and source over to the OSX Mac, but HOW Isn OSX, a close kin to Linux, UNIX in all it file structure and commands I also have a large collection of MPEG video files that Id like to move over to the iMac G4 and iDVD for burning. It helps the users to store mange data accordingly for easy access. Partitioning is used to divide the disk drive in multiple volume where each volume acts as an individual hard drive. To unmount your disk, you can use 'hdiutil unmount /dev/disk0s13' and to mount it again, you can use 'hdiutil mount /dev/disk0s13'. hdiutil is a fully documented command-line tool that can be used to do this kind of thing. Unable to access or process data Mac? Are you facing Mac partition failed error? Although Macintosh provides the most advanced and powerful mechanism to store or process vital informations but with time it is also bound to mishaps. Authored by: merlin on Jul 01, '02 07:35:17PM.
