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 haven't come across a single program that tells you what is blocking the ejection even in Linux. Sure, if you use the right tools you can find the culprit, but the program that does the ejection task seems to love being vague.
