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.

    To be relevant to the post:

    Windows

    Someone is using the drive, you can't eject

    Linux

    $ umount /mnt
unmount failed: device in use 
$ umount -f /mnt
$

      Windows
      mountvol (drive letter) /p

      Just because you don’t know the command doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

      I often get situations where umount -f doesn’t even work :( Especially on a full desktop (not server) where some stuff is probably crawling the drive to make thumbnails or whatever.
