It was indeed unmounted. I have six of them, Sunday through Friday -- Saturday gets the Mirror. The Smart Updated images are backups of my home folder, which is about 3.5 gig. The images now range from 9 to 12 gig, so I'm looking for a nice way to size them back down. This is what I get:

Code:

>hdiutil compact Tuesday.sparseimage
hdiutil: compact failed - Device not configured

Nothing's mounted but the drive the images are on.
