My external hard drives will not eject normally and must force eject since I installed Sequoia 15.1.1.
Is there a fix or work around for this issue?
Thank you much.
MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.1

Applications that frequently prevent volumes from unmounting
We've received (and confirmed) reports of the following applications causing trouble with volume unmounts. If you have one of these applications, you should see if you can add your CCC backup volume to a "whitelist" within that software to avoid the interference it causes. The name of the offending process (which is what you would see in the Console application) is noted in parentheses.
PRP_53,
Thank you very much for responding.
I do not have any of the listed programs installed on my MacBook.
I tried relaunching Finder, with no change and still needed to force eject.
My next question is, does force ejecting my external drive damaging to the external drive or my computer?
Thank you.
External Drive
Sorry if we parse words
Any Third Party Security Software whether listed by name or not
FYI - had a similar issue of External Drive refusing to dismount
Using Carbon Copy Cloner to that drive to augment TM Backup
Did some work with the Developer
There is a setting within that application to run a script to UnMount the drive post the Task Completing
Problem solved
Thank you.
I'll look into Carbon Copy Cloner.
Your are welcome
As mentioned, used to Augment not replace TM Backup
External Drives will not eject since Sequoia 15.1.1 update
