Hi - new user here, using FFS 13.8 ARM64 on M1 processor iMac, macOS Sequoia 15.1 (24B83) syncing some external USB-C attached SSDs. External drives are ExFAT so that I can share them with my W11 and Mint Linux systems. FFS works (syncs) quickly and flawlessly, but, when I try to "eject" (dismount) the drives, I always get this

The disk "WORK1TB" wasn't ejected because one or more programs may be using it.
To eject the disk immediately, click the Force Eject button.

The disk "MEDIA2TB" wasn't ejected because one or more programs may be using it.
To eject the disk immediately, click the Force Eject button.

Force Eject does work, but it is always needed. Just thought that I'd report this, as the OS is pretty new, and, I'm a new user. I looked through the forums, and didn't see this, but only looked back to September 2024. Basic screen caps attached. Cheers - MK

This is unrelated to FFS
