using macOS 10.14.6 on Retina MBP mid-2015 and VeraCrypt 1.24-Update 7
I have a VeraCrypt volume /Users/me/foo mounted on /Users/me/bar
If I close all applications using files on /Users/me/bar and request VeraCrypt dismount the volume (using GUI). VeraCrypt claims it cannot dismount the volume because files are in use.
If I do lsof | grep 'me/bar' it does not find any matches, which confirms that I have not left any files open.
If I do lsof | grep 'me/foo' it shows that the only user of foo is VeraCrypt -- which are the results I would expect.
I then try the dismount again, and when VeraCrypt says that files are in use, I tell it to do a forced dismount. I have yet to see where I have any corruption occur because of the forced dismount.
A couple of things that may or may not be relevant:
1) I am running Veracrypt from a memory stick mounted as /Volumes/xyz and Veracrypt is /Volumes/xyz/Applications/VeraCrypt.app
2) The volume is protected by both a password a a key files path
3) The volume is a VeraCrypt-created volume (not TrueCrypt)
4) There are no hidden volumes
I had this issue occasionally when using VeraCrypt 1.24-Update 4, but now I have the problem occurr nearly every time I try to dismount a volume.
Any thoughts as to why I am seeing this error?
Thanks in advance for any help!
