I don't fucking know why I can't eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don't know who's lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

So unplug it? You would accomplish the same thing.

Which is exactly what I do if sufficiently annoyed! Problem is, Windows is usually hella vague about which particular devices have Quick Removal™®© enabled.

Honestly, i have the same on XFCE. But if i press the button to force eject, i get some dbus-black-magic-that-failed error and jank it out anyway.

I haven't come across a single program that tells you what is blocking the ejection even in Linux. Sure, if you use the right tools you can find the culprit, but the program that does the ejection task seems to love being vague.

I don't even use that dumb shit. Unless it's still actively writing something, just take it out.

This is Microsoft we're talking about here. 🤮
