After upgrading to 14.6, I detected a problem where I can not eject external USB hard drives after running a sync or compare. I normally synchronize a spinning iron disk and an SSD, and have not had the problem before. The error message indicates that the drive can't be ejected because it's in use. I also see an error 225 in the system log for kernel and process 4 "system" whenever I attempt a rejection.

Rolling back to 14.5 fixed the issue. I also tried a clean install of 14.6 to no avail. Rollback success verified twice.

Thanks for the great program.

Is this Linux? If so, what version?

(I am not seeing the same on Windows, as Safely Remove works as expected.)

No Win10. Maybe it's a weirdo controller issue on one of the usb drives. I vaguely recall a similar problem with a prior build a few years back. Thanks
