    “You need to manually eject your USB drive before you remove it” - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

    Also, half the time when you try to eject it, it says “device busy” even though I’m not transferring files. Well, best of luck with that bud, I’m busy too yank

      That’s because some program still accesses it

      Could be just your file browser (“explorer”) that has a window open with the content of that device, or maybe some program has a hiccup and didn’t free it’s file pointer

      had that under linux too, because there’s still buffer to be written; but under linux i can at least check /proc/sys/vm/dirty_bytes to see how long it will take.
