can't transfer files ? revisiond ? mds

[Sumleilmus]

I have two large TB4 external volumes, each an NVME M.2 from OWC. Each is partitioned/formatted GUID hfsxj Each has recently had its directory rebuilt by Disk Warrior. Each is in the Spotlight Privacy tab in System Preferences

I want to transfer files from one to the other, a thing I have done before. When I attempt to drag a directory containing many files but no subdirectories from one external volume to the other, I get this message: "One or more items in “G” can’t be changed because they are in use."

I let the processes run overnight, hoping they would finish their tasks and let me transfer files, but no.

This is a new problem. I never saw it when I was transferring files to/from these volumes before.

sudo lsof /4TBvolume shows me about a dozen files being run by processes such as revisiond and mds

If I run sudo kill -9 PID where PID is the PID of revisiond, mds, and so forth, I still can't trensfer the files and the troublesome processes immediately restart themselves.

Suggestions?

Resolved. One of the files was greyed out. I deleted it and the error messages ended. It was troublesome to scan the 208 files with my eyes to find the one that was irregular. I wish the command line had given me better clues or that my wits were sharp enough to discern the clues that were present.
