Never seen that before.
Had to kill GUI, & then also the Service.
(As in killing the GUI did not affect the hungry Service.)
.
Of late*
Of late, heh. Of late, very infrequently (on office computer) when I'll go to Safely Remove a couple of USB (flash &/or SSD) drives, I'll get a "busy".
AFAIK, there is no "busy", as in I have nothing open... on the drives.
Though, in particular instances of Everything - those that actually Index said USB drives (& that is all they index, only said USB drives, & no other drives, & no other instances index those USB drives), if I 'Index | Pause Updates' (followed immediately by 'Index | Resume Updates), I can then Safe Remove the USB drive - every time.
Checking other avenues, manually "sync'ing"... provide no relief.
Index, Pause, Index, Resume, works.
So yesterday, I Index, Pause, (& I suppose I then also Index, Resume, as I would normally do), & for whatever reason Everything Service starting eating CPU & GUI went opaque. And at that point, I was unable to interact with either the Service (-uninstall-service) or the GUI (& had to kill both).
In all the years, I've never had issues with Safely Remove.
More recently, yes.
My USB's (well except for any HDD based in a USB adapter) have always been "flash" drives (with Kingston, my "regular"). More recently I picked up a newer (old) PNY (flash) drive, & more recently again, I got a M.2 SSD that I put into a USB adapter.
Initially, it was the SSD that I ran into troubles with (Safely Remove), never having had any issues with the Kingston. And initially, it was only on my home computer*. More recently, very, very infrequently, the Kingston also failed to Safely Remove. And now, I've seen it on both computers (but more often on home).
*Home computer.
Oh, I pretty sure is on its way out. Motherboard most likely. At least some of my M/B SATA connectors have gone bad. Or at least when multiple disks are (now) plugged in, depending on which SATA connectors are in use, a drive may or may not be there, or may be there but at some will hang the computer (out of the blue, & totally). So I'm avoiding those particular connectors, & I believe I'm good, at present.
So some of my issues (seen on home computer) may be hardware related.
Anyhow, this Service issue was not on my home, & I've never see that before.
(Which drive was it that it hung on... was going to say, not sure, don't recall, but thinking, not certain, it was on Kingston - cause SSD (S.M.A.R.T.) reports Unsafe Shutdowns, & I don't think (?) that it incremented? (Or might I have actually Safely Removed after killing GUI, Service, & then restarting both & going through the Index, Pause procedure?)
(Yeah, & I would have gotten around to bring up the Safely Remove issue, at some point, but since I ran into the Service issue...)
