I don't fucking know why I can't eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don't know who's lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

I often get situations where umount -f doesn't even work :( Especially on a full desktop (not server) where some stuff is probably crawling the drive to make thumbnails or whatever.

You can use the lsof utility though to list all currently open file handles.
