external hard drives (wds) won't eject since upgrade el capitan (10.11.2). happens on imac , laptops. pop says other programs may using hard drive not case. need restart, external still mounted; able eject. bit of pain.
i have issues drives not ejecting. couple of reasons, not related yours, are:
1) watch video in quicktime player, close video. quicktime player shows not being active in dock. drive won't eject. "open" quicktime player , quit. can eject.
2) use terminal view/work on disk. go home directory. drive won't eject. have close tab or window in terminal have drive eject. not problem before yosemite.
may have programs running (anti-malware, whatever) in background use disk don't release or osx doesn't recognize being released.
drives guid hfs+ (maybe there's issue non hfs+ drives in el capitan).
have software came drives use? there have been issues of wd software , el capitan.
did issue start in when updated (from previous el capitan version) or when upgraded (from yosemite or earlier osx)?
