Re Neat Nm-1000 Sierra How To Get This

Given the time Ive spent trying to fix this it is ultimately faster to just flatten and re-install.

When trying to install High Sierra, system takes me to a screen that says unable to unmount volume for repair.

These two commands fixed the problem: sudo mv.quota.ops.user.quota.ops.user.org and mv.quota.user.quota.user.orig.

Boot to internet recovery or a USB drive with the High Sierra Installer (standard Sierra recovery mode wont do).

Go to Disk Utility and mount your Mac volume.

Close Disk Utility and go to the command line terminal.

Do diskutil umount force VolumesMacintosh HD Take note of your disk id.

Once this is done, reboot and High Sierra can be installed from either a USB drive or Internet Recovery mode (optioncommandR).

Ive tried disk utility repairs both in Sierra, while in the High Sierra installer, and by booting into recovery mode.

Created a USB stick with High Sierra, booted off that, ran Diskutil against the SSD on the laptop, no errors reported, but cant unmount the disk there too.

Entered the terminal, did a diskutil unmount devdisk21, failed with a UID0 voted no (or something like that) error and didnt unmount the disk.

Next I tried a diskkutil unmount force devdiskk21 command, that got the device unmounted.

Rebooted back to the ssd, tried the install again.

Same error. ARGHH.

Next step is to take a fresh time machine backup, wipe the disk, install High Sierra on it, then restore from the backup.

I cant even get it to let me force an unmount of the hard drive in order to check the disk for errors.

For the record Im booting off a USB installer I created for High Sierra.

Open Terminal and force unmount the drive diskutil list diskutil unmountDisk force devdisk 3.

Open Diskutil and reformat the drive to APFS Note that you will lose any data stored on the drive 4.

Install High Sierra I tried disabling time machine, running disk recovery, re-installing Sierra through recovery mode (failed file unavailable), re-installing High Sierra via recovery mode (installer failed), installing Sierra via a USB drive (hold down option, select USB drive with image on it), and probably something else Im forgetting to mention.

I had intended on further testingtroubleshooting how to get this to work without blowing away my install but my TimeMachine backup (took 12 hours to restore) somehow prompted me for the wrong Apple ID (I had changed mine about a year ago) and wouldnt let me progress with the restore past that.
