I mounted the volume through the command line with the mount command. I found the hanging processes of sync had init as its parent. Not sure why I couldn't kill them. I'm thankful the lsof utility was mentioned as it found a few system libraries tying deleted resources to it, so there may have been a bug in them. Unloading the libraries (init 6!) finally did it. This is what I get for running development kernels and system. Its good to have utilities like lsof to understand why things go bad as it turned my fustration into an enjoyable learning experience.
