Trying to use Disk First Aid on a MacPro 5.1 SSD boot drive, I noticed that single user mode has stopped working.
After pressing cmd-s the boot is slower than usual, stopping halfway but completing the progress bar after a few minutes. Thereafter, the bar remains stationary.
In normal mode, the computer boots perfectly.
I have also tried running Disk First Aid in recovery mode, but it doesn't work, saying the disk cannot be unmounted.
I have removed the other drives from their bays (except for one NVME drive) and disconnected the external drives thinking that the delay could be due to another drive failing, but the same thing happens.
No FileVault/Firmware Password are activated, AFAIK.
Any idea what could be the cause?
