Preboot, ISCPreboot, Xart, Hardware, VM, Update ejection issue when ejecting a volume

I wanted to unmount an encrypted local volume on my Mac. it told me that the disk was busy and I wanted to force eject.


several popup appeared indicating that the discs could not be ejected because in use.


I don’t know how these volumes work, but it worries me.


PS . The Mac has just been reformatted and EtreCheck is showing high memory com.apple.WebKit.WebContent when there was not too much activity.


Do you have any explanations?


Thank you in advance

I see nothing unusual in the report. Your memory usage also looks normal.


Some of those hidden volumes are parts of macOS itself while the others are necessary to even boot to the Startup Options screen (the latter used to be place in the system firmware, but Apple has moved some of that to the internal SSD). Apple won't let you touch them through normal means.
