Is ChatGPT hallucinating about "umount /dev/sdx && sync"? (lemmy.one)

If one unmounts a disk, is that disk still available for write and can the following sync do anything?

Yes to the first question. I could be wrong, but I think you have to run umount on the directory sdx is mounted on, not sdx itself.
