Aug 27, 2014 9:09 PM in response to ironteethby Richard Schletty,Instead of turning off all file sharing in System Preferences: Sharing, simply select the volume, do Get Info (Cmd+I) and uncheck the "Shared folder" box. I was then able to run Repair on the volume that had been reported as "live."
I don't know why Mavericks has to be so tenacious when trying to unmount a shared volume. Is it a feature or a bug?

Oct 16, 2014 11:20 AM in response to MFletcherOfficeby macintouch-backintouch,Christine's solution worked for me. I was able to run disk utility and repair disk. I did not need to stop file sharing - but did unmount any other drives and then restarted holding down the command and r key.

Oct 27, 2014 6:39 PM in response to MFletcherOfficeby presidio_studios,For me the solution was to simply force eject the drive, and then unplug it from USB, and then plug it back in. My drive was a WD.

Jan 19, 2015 1:31 PM in response to William Kucharskiby wvito,Question...
I have a 1TB Fusion drive installed inside as operating disc in 2011 iMac running 10.9.3.
When I boot from a USB drive for maintenance...I'm getting the "live file system" error from Disk Utility.
It is running nothing, and sharing is not on, and it is not mourned on the desktop.
Suggestions?

May 2, 2015 9:11 AM in response to MFletcherOfficeby polym,I have this problem occasionally with OS 10.9.5 with external drives with (Mac OS extended (Journaled)) format. The disks are not writable and cannot be verified or repaired. The fix I found is to boot in safe mode (hold down shift at start of power-up) and then run disk utility to repair the disk partitions with a problem. You can then reboot in normal mode and everything should be fine.

Jul 8, 2015 4:16 PM in response to William Kucharskiby bennynormal,Thank you, William. This fixed the issue for me. Right click in the left side of disk utility to unmount your disk, proceed with verify and repair. You shouldn't see the error message anymore. Repairs were then successful and the strange behavior I was seeing from the disk in the finder was resolved as well. Thanks!

Jul 24, 2015 6:22 PM in response to christine anastasiaby mevans7,This helped me. Simply ejecting the disk, then saying "force" when prompted. I didn't have to reboot. I was able to see the file system and do the repair from within Disk Utility
